👉 Skin, or SS (Superficial Skin Sepsis), is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when bacteria or other pathogens enter the skin and cause an infection. Unlike deeper forms of sepsis, which affect organs like the lungs, kidneys, or liver, SS involves the superficial layers of the skin and underlying tissues. This can result from various factors, including surgical incisions, burns, cuts, or even minor abrasions that become infected. If left untreated, SS can lead to systemic complications, such as fever, rapid heart rate, confusion, and organ failure, making prompt medical intervention crucial for recovery.
