Eczema is not contagious; it's a skin condition, not an infectious disease. You don't need to worry excessively about cross-infection, but you should pay attention to daily care to control symptoms.
1. The nature of eczema: Eczema is usually related to a weak skin barrier function, allergic constitution, or environmental irritants. It is an internal reaction of the body and will not be "transmitted" from one part of the body to another through contact.
2. Reasons for the spread of symptoms: If eczema appears to appear in different areas of the body, it may be due to the same trigger (such as dryness, allergens) affecting multiple areas of skin at the same time, rather than self-infection.
3. Daily precautions: Keep skin clean and moisturized, and avoid scratching to prevent bacterial infection due to skin damage, although this is not contagious.
We recommend focusing on basic skincare: use gentle moisturizing products, minimize contact with chemical irritants, and wear breathable clothing. If symptoms recur or worsen, please consult a doctor promptly for personalized guidance.
