Eczema is a painful skin condition shared by many people of all age groups. For new eczema sufferers or parent of children with eczema, they often find it interesting to learn there are different forms of the skin condition. Eczema exhibits three stages. These stages are Acute, Chronic and Infected.
Acute eczema tend to appear quickly. This fast onset condition most often presents itself with bright red skin that is irritated and itchy. Depending on the cause of the flair up, acute eczema can also manifest with blisters, sore or pus filled sacs. These blisters will eventually burst and ooze clear liquid.
Chronic eczema refers to eczemz that lasts a longer period of time. While many people onlt face acute or mild flair-ups once in a while, chronic sufferers live with the after effects for much longer. Once the acute phase of the condition passes, a thick hard crust will form over the affected area in those with chronic eczema. These crusts may crack and bleed if left untreated.
Infected eczema is also refered to as Impetigo. Impetigo is a highly contagious condition that is passed through contact. Similar in look to the hard crusts of chronic eczema, infected eczema tend to exhibit a more yellow crust with the possibility of oozing yellow liquid.
Eczema is a harsh skin condition that is, simply put, an allergic reaction to some external or internal irritant. Those suffering from the condition will most likely have to deal with the three phases of eczema. Acute, Chronic and Infected Eczema are all conditions that can be treated with care and, at times, antibiotics.
