Would you be able to tell if you had eczema on your skin? All of a sudden you notice that your skin has become red, there is a lot of itching and your skin is becoming very dry. But would you instantly think that you have eczema or would you think it was just a simple rash that if you apply any old cream will hopefully go?

It is actually quite probable that you do have a rash and nothing else, and it can simply be another kind of skin infection which with the right treatment will go within a few weeks for instance

Your body has many challenges that it needs to contend with on a daily basis and two of these challenges are in creating two important proteins that are needed to help fight off infection

But if you do notice something different, and are not sure what it is then you really need to see your doctor get a more accurate diagnosis and therefore a more thorough treatment plan can be provided

Seeing your doctor is not really an option because if you are scratching a lot there is a strong possibility that the skin can break which can lead to infection and there is then the possibility that this infection can then spread to other areas of the body

Depending on what the diagnosis is you may be given antibiotics or a antifungal lotion or cream, again this would depend very much on the diagnosis and also the severity of the condition

Again you should see a doctor straight away, as the sooner the treatment begins the better chance you have of controlling whatever the skin condition may actually be
