Is the bacteria colonizing the skin of children with eczema important to the condition?

  Yes, it makes sense.  Eczema predisposes to the colonization of some specific bacteria (especially Staphylococcus aureus). The presence of S. aureus can be found on the skin of most children with eczema. The presence of Staphylococcus aureus on the skin does not necessarily indicate the presence of an infection. It only indicates that the child with eczema is highly susceptible to some bacteria and may exacerbate the eczema.  Children with eczema are susceptible to skin infections because of skin scratches and cracks. Acute outbreaks of eczema are often associated with secondary bacterial infections and often require antibiotic treatment. Your baby will feel very uncomfortable when there is a bacterial infection. If an infection is suspected, you need to contact your doctor early. Babies with eczema must not come into contact with patients who have herpes in the acute stage (herpes simplex around the mouth and lips) to avoid virus invasion from the skin (children with eczema have weak skin immunity and are vulnerable to herpes simplex virus infection). Children with eczema are also prone to warts and infectious molluscum contagiosum, which often manifest as small white bulges that persist for 6-12 months or sometimes longer. But eventually they will disappear with or without treatment.
