The most common and contagious bacterial skin disease i.e. skin sores (impetigo) mostly affects newborns and young children. On the face, particularly around the mouth and nose area, as well as on the hands and feet, it typically manifests as reddish sores. In this study, a neuro-evolutionary global algorithm is introduced to solve the dynamics of nonlinear skin sores disease model (SSDM) with the help of an artificial neural network. The global genetic algorithm is integrated with local sequential quadratic programming (GA-LSQP) to obtain the optimal solution for the proposed model. The designed differential model of skin sores disease is comprised of susceptible (S), infected (I), and recovered (R) categories. An activation function based neural network modeling is exploited for skin sores system through mean square error to achieve best trained weights. The integrated approach is validated and verified through the comparison of results of reference Adam strategy with absolute error analysis. The absolute error results give accuracy of around 10 − 11   to   10 − 5 , demonstrating the worthiness and efficacy of proposed algorithm. Additionally, statistical investigations in form of mean absolute deviation, root mean square error, and Theil's inequality coefficient are exhibited to prove the consistency, stability, and convergence criteria of the integrated technique. The accuracy of the proposed solver has been examined from the smaller values of minimum, median, maximum, mean, semi-interquartile range, and standard deviation, which lie around 10 − 12   to   10 − 2 .
