I heard bleach baths are good for eczema. how do you take bleach baths?

1/2 cup bleach: Consider bleach baths – ½ cup bleach to full bathtub – bathe for 5-10 minutes two times a week. The doctor may instruct you to use a special nasal ointment as well.

Yes: I typically have patients take diluted bleach bath 2-3 times per week, using 2-3 ounces in 1/2 tub of water to help decolonize staph from the skin. These baths can be drying, so i usually recommend moisturizers after every bath and use care if the skin is open to avoid discomfort! staph toxin can flare eczema.

Bleach Baths: For recurrent infected eczema, liquid chlorine bleach baths (sodium hypochlorite 6% solution) may be used in addition to topical treatment. Try the following formula: Add 1/2 cup 6% bleach in a full bathtub of lukewarm water and then soak for 10 minutes. Afterwards, rinse with fresh water, pat dry, and immediately apply emollient and/or prescribed medications. Bath should be taken 2-3 times/week
