When harmful substances are to invade the human body, the skin and mucous membranes first block the external pathogenic factors outside the body. Therefore, skin and mucous membranes are the first line of defense against infection. However, when the invasive amount of harmful substances exceeds the endurance of the mucous membrane, it causes damage such as redness and discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes.
