👉 Visible infection, often referred to as a skin or soft tissue infection, is a condition where bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens cause inflammation and visible signs on the skin or mucous membranes. These signs typically include redness, swelling, warmth, and the formation of pustules, boils, or ulcers. The infection can spread from an initial site, often through breaks in the skin, such as cuts or abrasions, leading to a localized but noticeable change in appearance. Symptoms may also include pain, fever, and in more severe cases, systemic signs like chills and fatigue. The visible manifestations of an infection serve as a clear indicator that the body is responding to an invading pathogen, highlighting the need for prompt medical attention to prevent complications.
