Is Dyshidrotic Eczema Contagious?
Eczema is a noncontagious skin condition with a variety of causes. Eczema can be chronic or a once-off reaction to an allergen. Some types of eczema might mimic other forms of eczema or skin conditions.
The tiny blisters formed by dyshidrotic eczema look highly contagious, but they're not. An internal reaction causes the blisters due to a variety of factors. However, it is possible that an outbreak of this condition could get infected. A variety of bacteria, fungi or viruses can cause skin infections.
