Eczema Herpeticum: When Cold Sores Become Dangerous | Health and Fitness News

That common cold sore? It’s no big deal… unless your kid has eczema. For kids with atopic dermatitis, the same virus can trigger a dangerous, fast-spreading skin infection called eczema herpeticum. Their compromised skin barrier, combined with thinner skin and developing immunity, makes them prime targets. Watch for painful blisters, fever, swollen glands — not just itchiness. Don’t use steroids; antivirals are key. Act fast — and keep germs out by avoiding contact, washing hands, and managing eczema. Early treatment saves serious complications.
