Bleach Bath Helps Ezcema

I was surfing the web and found this interesting article.

Bleach baths may help kids with eczema

Has anyone tried this?

That is amazing.... funny to but I have had some infected hairs on my face for months and creams and antibiotics just didn't seem to work but after a couple nightly washing with an exfoliating scrub, they dried up and healed up in less than a week.... I think that some of the cures actually lengthen the time it takes to heal....

maybe its the fact that you are using creams and it kept clogging the same infected pore? and the scrub managed to uncover the clogs so they can heal. Good thing you found a way to get rid of them tho. I've bought some lactic acid to make a cream for my Keratosis Pilaris on my upper arms. I got the 88% lactic acid from Lotioncrafter.com.

Yea I read about this when Ilo was about 3 wks old and thought "Hmmm... Am I really gonna put my NEWBORN in bleach?" Nah...

Kids and bleach? I would "kill" my parents if they would do that to me as a kid...

An average bathtub would hold about 70gal of water. Lets say you fill it half way at 35-40gal of water and you add 1/4 cup of bleach. That bleach is so diluted that it isn't harmful to you. There's probably more chlorine in a swimming pool. The article is saying that it is enough to kill the staph what is causing the dermatitis that plagued the children.

( 1/4 cup = 0.015624999999 of a gallon.)
