In mild cases of eczema, the skin is dry, scaly, red and itchy. In more severe cases there may be weeping, crusting and bleeding.

No, eczema is not contagious. Children with eczema should be allowed to play normally with their friends.

If you think your skin is infected, you should see your GP as soon as possible so that it can be assessed. Skin can be infected with bacteria, fungi or a virus. Bacterial infection is the most common.Look out for one or more of the following signs of bacterial infection: Eczema becomes suddenly worse, with redness, itching and soreness. The skin is weepy with clear or yellow fluid. The skin has blisters, or red/yellow pus spots appear. You have a raised temperature, flu-like symptoms or swollen glands in the armpit, neck and groin. Small infected patches can be controlled with antiseptics or topical antibiotics, but larger areas may require oral antibiotic treatment. A study on Oral and Topical Antibiotics for Clinically Infected Eczema in Children (2017) showed no clinically meaningful benefit from the addition of either oral or topical antibiotics in children with milder clinically infected eczema.

Emollients are non-cosmetic moisturisers. They help soothe the skin and provide relief from itching and dryness. Their regular use can prevent eczema from ‘flaring up’. There are many different types of emollients, and they can be classified according to how they are used and how greasy they are. Greasy ointment emollients are best for very dry skin. Cream emollients are the best to use on sore and weeping skin. You may need to try several emollients to find the one that works best for you, as different emollients suit different people.

There is no ‘best emollient’, as such. The type (or types) to use depends on the dryness of the skin, the area of skin involved, and what is comfortable and acceptable to you. More than one emollient may be required for use at different times of the day, or for when the condition is more active. You may need to try several emollients to find the one that suits you best.

Topical steroids, used appropriately and under medical supervision, are a safe and effective treatment for eczema. The likelihood of side effects occurring is directly related to the potency of the preparation, where it is being used, the condition of the skin on which it is used and the age of the user. All these factors will be taken into consideration when a prescription is given to treat eczema. Pregnant women should consult their GP regarding the advisability of continued use of their usual topical steroid preparation.Side effects such as skin thinning usually only occur when potent or very potent steroids have been applied for a long period of time to more delicate areas of skin, such as the face and neck, or flexures (the parts of the body able to flex. That is, the backs of the knees and the insides of the armpits, elbows and groin).

There are no standard rules on whether to apply a topical steroid before or after using an emollient. Some people are happiest using an emollient first to prepare the skin, followed by the topical steroid. Whichever order of care you choose, it is important that you leave a gap of at least 10 minutes (and if possible 20-30 minutes). This is intended to avoid diluting the strength of the topical steroid preparation, and to prevent the spread of topical steroids to areas not affected by eczema.
