Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Eczema in diabetic patient which is increasing is suspicious of infection. Eczema causes inflammation of the superficial layer of the skin. Because of the inflammation there is loss of protective layer of the skin. Loss of protective layer makes the skin more vulnerable to various infection. If the condition is not favored to host infection by bacteria becomes very easy. This is the type of infection we are suspecting in you. I advise you should maintain good hygiene, good cleanliness. Please make it clear two to three times a day with diluted detail and other. Please wear cotton garments above the eczema site. It has some protective value in infection control and prevention. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
