Itchy, weeping skin is typically caused by dermatological conditions—such as dyshidrotic eczema or chickenpox—which may be associated with contact transmission. Both dyshidrotic eczema and chickenpox are contagious; individuals with compromised immunity are especially susceptible to infection. Additionally, such symptoms may stem from dermatitis or other types of rashes. It is recommended that you visit a dermatology department at a hospital for evaluation, where diagnostic testing can help identify the precise underlying cause.
