Eczema (I was spelling it wrong, too) is a generic term for inflammatory conditions of the skin, particularly with blisters in the acute stage, typically red, swollen, raised, and crusting; often followed by thickening of the skin and scaling...often accompanied by sensations of itching and burning.

Some of the forms of eczema are: allergic, atopic, baker, chronic, dyshidrotic, flexural, infantile, lichenoid, nummular, seborrheic, stasis, tropical, varicose, weeping, winter.

I would presume that "infected" eczema would be if/when those red, scaly blisters were scratched to the point of becoming infected, thus causing additional medical problems.

If you type in eczema +infected into your Yahoo search bar, you will bring up many, many pages that link to other sites for you to review.

Hope this helped.

In simple words, Exzema refers to an inflammation of the skin that causes itching, and redness in the affected area. Often you will hear doctors use the term Dermatitis to explain this condition as well. Both words describe the same condition. While the word Exzema in Greek means "bubbling or boiling through", Dermatitis means "inflammation of the skin".

Eczema causes dry, itchy skin or wet, weepy skin. If scratched, it can lead to infection by staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus, due to bacterial invasion of the damaged skin. There is cellulitis.That is infected eczema.
