I learned this this school year, so it's accurate. The skin has 2 major layers. If a pathogen falls on your skin, either sweat and oil glands kill them or they fall off with other dead skin cells. It is rare that they can get through the thick layer of dead cells on the outer layer of your skin. If a cut is made, they can enter. After a cut is made, though, a scab very quickly forms on top of the cut blocking out pathogens. Hope this help!! :)
