👉 Thin infection, also known as a superficial or cutaneous infection, occurs when pathogens invade the skin or mucous membranes but do not penetrate deeper tissues. These infections are typically caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites that can enter through breaks in the skin, such as cuts, abrasions, or open wounds. Unlike deeper infections, thin infections often present with symptoms like redness, swelling, warmth, and sometimes a rash or blisters at the site of entry. Treatment usually involves topical antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals, and proper wound care to prevent further complications. Early recognition and intervention are crucial to avoid more severe systemic infections.
