Immune system
The immune system, specifically the innate immune system, works to destroy microorganisms that enter the body through the skin. Components such as phagocytes and natural killer cells help to identify and target these invaders for destruction.

no it is not. The integumentary system is your skin, hair, nails, and sweat/oil glands. It works with the immune system in that it helps protect the body. The immune system helps fight off bacterial infections and viruses on the inside. they work together, but they are not the same thing.
AIDS is a weakening of the immune system caused by infection of the HIV virus. This weakening of the immune system could cause a number of changes in skin appearance, I suppose, but I have no knowledge of any movies showing it.
The body's immune system protects the two layers of skin by producing specialized cells and proteins that detect and fight off harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses. These immune cells patrol the skin and respond quickly to any threats, helping to prevent infections and keep the skin healthy.
Your skin is the first line of defense against pathogens that try to enter the body.
