What causes weeping eczema?
My younger sister has eczema, and sometimes it gets really bad, like it starts 'weeping' or oozing clear fluid. We've seen doctors but I still wonder what causes this weeping eczema to happen.

Weeping eczema is usually a sign that your skin barrier is broken and a bacterial or fungal infection has set in. Diet-wise, avoiding inflammatory foods like sugar and excess dairy might help, but you definitely need a proper medical cream to treat the infection first.
This weeping is often due to extreme heat or pitta imbalance in the body, which leads to secondary bacterial infections on dry skin. Doing cooling pranayamas like Sheetali can help calm the internal heat, but please keep the area clean and see a doctor.
I know how terrifying it looks when the skin starts oozing liquid, it completely panicked me too. But please don't stress, it's just a common complication where normal eczema gets infected. A doctor can easily clear it up with the right ointment.
Haan na, skin jab bahut dry ho jati hai aur hum scratch karte hain, toh infection ho jata hai. Wahi weeping eczema hota hai. Aap khud se kuch mat lagao ghar pe, doctor ko dikha lo ek baar.
I tried applying all sorts of oils and pastes on my weeping skin, but it only made the oozing worse. This condition is actually a bacterial infection on top of your eczema, so home remedies won't work. You need proper antibiotic treatment from a dermatologist.

Yes, weeping eczema is almost always caused by a secondary bacterial infection (like staph) entering cracked skin. Keeping the area clean and getting a prescription cream is the only safe way forward.
