Atopic Fexural Exzema
The skin of an atopic exzema sufferer is particularly vulnerable to infections. This includes bacterial infections (impetigo) and viral infections (warts, molluscum contagiosum). One viral infection that can potentially pose a serious risk for atopic exzema sufferers is the herpes simplex virus. This can result in rapidly extending small blisters associated with a feeling of being generally unwell and toxicity of the individual. It requires urgent help with treatment. Considering how common the cold sore virus is and how common atopic exzema is fortunately the spread of herpes virus on atopic exzema is relatively rare. This condition is known as exzema
herpeticum.
