Which of the following conditions is known as a skin infection that commonly occurs in individuals with compromised immune systems?

Impetigo is indeed a skin infection that commonly affects individuals with compromised immune systems. It is a highly contagious bacterial infection that often manifests as red sores or blisters, usually around the mouth and nose, which can burst and ooze, forming a honey-colored crust. People with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, living with HIV/AIDS, or taking immunosuppressive medications, are more susceptible to infections like impetigo because their bodies have a diminished ability to fight off pathogens.

While herpes simplex and shingles are also viral infections that can impact those with compromised immune systems, they are different types of conditions. Herpes simplex often causes cold sores or genital ulcers and is triggered by the herpes simplex virus but is not primarily identified as a common infection occurring specifically in immunocompromised individuals. Shingles, which is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox), can also affect those with weakened immune systems but is more commonly associated with adults who have had chickenpox.

Psoriasis, on the other hand, is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by rapid skin cell growth leading to thick, red, scaly patches. While it can be severe and might require treatment, it is
