A member asked:
Once contracted eczema herpeticum, does it become really really itchy before the skin breaks out in the crusty clusters/rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very itchy: Yes it is very itchy and it needs to be treated aggressively. You need to have your doctors give you medications for both the rash and the itch to control it.
