Study: Baths with Bleach Help Kids' Eczema - TIME

[wealthybarney]

Interesting reading.
Very helpful and timely info for Mom's today-thanks rbunnymom.

I still prefer simple milk baths. Mom would get expired gallons of any milk, and pour a gallon or two in.
Stopped the itching, and it relaxed me. Perhaps it was the Calcium in the milk.

I still take milk baths today when I am stressed and need to relax.
If eczema ever returns, I will put a dash of bleach in, too.

Wow DS1 has eczema thanks for the info and like the Dr said it helps keep the bath clean :)

Oh yes!!! My niece has horrible full body eczema and I have it pretty bad myself and bleach does wonders for it!!!

I've got a lot of friends whose kiddo's have feeding tubes...and they can easily get infections or irritation on them...they are told to go swimming at a pool because the chlorine really helps!

Youngest DS has really bad skin, his skin is like an alligator especially in the winter. What helps him in the summer time is the swimming pool. We have him get in the hot tub in the winter time since it uses the same chemicals that a pool does.

I am assuming A&D ointment is what they are referring to.

A bleach bath sounds crazy! Who knew!?! My daughter has eczema. I will have to try it next time her skin acts up!
