Eczema can develop into an infection if triggers aren't managed well, and you don't have a consistent skin care routine. But it may have looked that way for so long that you don't even realise it's an infection.<\/p>\n
The National Eczema Association notes that sufferers must \"watch for signs of infection\".<\/p>\n
Although all types of eczema have periods of flare-ups, one particular kind is prone to infection.<\/p>\n
Named pompholyx otherwise called dyshidrotic eczema tiny blisters form over the skin.<\/p>\n
Another sign of infection is when blisters ooze pus or become covered in golden crust.<\/p>\n
The NHS states the condition may be triggered by a fungal skin infection.<\/p>\n
Or it could be a reaction to something that has touched the skin, such as nickel.<\/p>\n
Known irritants include detergents, household chemicals, soap, shampoo, cosmetic products or perfume.<\/p>\n
DON'T MISS<\/p>\n
Stress has also been shown to aggravate the skin condition, as does sweating.<\/p>\n
In most cases, the blisters will clear up on their own within a few weeks.<\/p>\n
But the condition tends to appear throughout the years, and can be continuous and difficult to treat.<\/p>\n
To combat an infection, it's imperative to see your GP to obtain medicated treatment.<\/p>\n
It's also best to become familiar with your triggers and to avoid them.<\/p>\n
In life, stress is unavoidable, but stress really is an eczema trigger. What to do?<\/p>\n
To help manage stressful situations, stress management techniques are needed.<\/p>\n
Stress management can range from breathing techniques to crossword puzzles.<\/p>\n
