👉 A basement infection, also known as a subcutaneous or soft tissue infection, occurs when bacteria or other microorganisms penetrate the skin or mucous membranes and invade deeper tissues below the surface. This can happen due to cuts, abrasions, or puncture wounds that allow pathogens to enter the body. Once inside, the infection can spread through the lymphatic system or bloodstream, leading to more severe complications if not treated promptly. Symptoms often include redness, swelling, warmth, pain, and pus at the site of entry, and in some cases, systemic symptoms like fever and chills may develop. Basement infections require prompt medical attention, typically involving antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading and causing further damage.
