Infected eczema occurs when bacteria, viruses, or fungi invade open wounds or cracked skin affected by eczema, resulting in worsened symptoms such as inflammation, swelling, and tenderness, Common microbes that cause infected eczema include S. aureus bacteria, C. albicansfungi, and the herpes simplex virus (HSV), each requiring specific treatments such as antibiotics, antifungals, or antiviral medications. To prevent infected eczema, avoid scratching, maintain skin moisture, and promptly consult a doctor if symptoms such as fever, worsening condition, or oozing blisters appear; prompt treatment leads to better outcomes.
