How To Treat Varicose Eczema

Antibiotics

Some varicose eczema patients will deal with severe symptoms and complications. Complications of this condition include severely cracked and itchy skin as well as venous ulcers. The sores on the skin can ooze some fluid and even be crusty. If patients are not careful, the sores and ulcers can develop bacterial infections. Doctors will prescribe oral or topical antibiotics to individuals with varicose eczema who have a bacterial infection in their ulcers. Antibiotics are also helpful when varicose eczema patients are experiencing erosions or cellulitis, along with other infections due to their condition. Although patients may be prescribed either oral or topical antibiotics, they should consider bandaging the affected area where possible to prevent further issues.
