Eczema can be troublesome for those infected with the Herpes virus. There are potential Eczema triggers that make symptoms worse. What is relatively unknown is that the most dangerous trigger is Herpes--either Cold Sores or Genital Herpes. Most doctors, General Practitioners, are unfamiliar with the complications of having Eczema and Herpes outbreaks at the same time, and location. They don’t see it enough. It’s more in the realm of textbook dermatology or infectious disease. Please be vigilant if you’re infected with both Herpes and Eczema. Eczema-Herpeticum can be a mess, waiting for a train wreck.
