Eczema is a type of skin inflammation that can causes an itchy red rash and patchy sores. Occasionally, areas of the skin affected by eczema can become infected.

🪧 Signs of an infection can include:
▪️your eczema getting a lot worse
▪️fluid oozing from the skin
▪️a yellow crust on the skin surface or small yellowish-white spots appearing in the eczema
▪️the skin becoming swollen and sore
▪️feeling hot and shivery and generally feeling unwell

It’s important to learn the signs of infected eczema so you can seek the appropriate treatment 💊
