No. Generalized eczema is a common inflammatory skin condition and is not contagious. You don't need to worry about spreading it to others through daily contact. Understanding its characteristics and adopting scientific care methods will be more helpful in relieving symptoms.
1. **Eczema is essentially an internal inflammation:** It is mainly related to abnormal function of the individual's immune system, damage to the skin barrier, or allergic constitution. It is an internal problem, rather than being caused by external pathogens such as bacteria or viruses.
2. **Daily contact does not transmit the disease:** Neither light contact with the patient's skin nor sharing clothing or towels will cause others to develop eczema. The rash may look uncomfortable, but it is not contagious.
3. **Symptoms worsening and easily misunderstood:** Sometimes, eczema may break down and ooze due to scratching, which may lead to bacterial infection. However, this is a secondary condition, and the eczema itself is still not contagious.
We suggest you first maintain a calm state of mind and avoid anxiety. Wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to reduce skin friction; avoid using excessively hot water when bathing, and apply moisturizer promptly afterward. If the rash is widespread or severely itchy, please consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment; do not self-medicate.
