If your dermatologist recommends bleach baths for eczema<\/a>, follow these important steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use regular strength \u2013 6 percent \u2013 bleach for the bath<\/strong>. Do not use concentrated bleach.<\/li>\n
  2. Use a measuring cup or measuring spoon to add the bleach to the bath<\/strong>. Adding too much bleach to the bath can the skin. Adding too little bleach may not help.<\/li>\n
  3. Measure the amount of bleach before adding it to the bath water<\/strong>. For a full bathtub of water, use a half cup of bleach. For a half-full tub of water, add a quarter cup of bleach. For a baby or toddler bathtub, add one teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water.<\/li>\n
  4. Never apply bleach directly to eczema<\/strong>. While the tub is filling, pour the bleach into the water. Be sure to wait until the bath is fully drawn and bleach is poured before entering the tub.<\/li>\n
  5. Talk with your dermatologist about how long you should soak in the tub<\/strong>. Most dermatologists recommend a five- to 10-minute soak.<\/li>\n
  6. Pat skin dry after the bath<\/strong>. If prescribed eczema medication, apply it immediately after the bath. Then moisturize skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Adding a teaspoon of bleach to a water bottle sprayer and spraying your body before taking a shower is another alternative to soaking in a bleach bath.
    \n<\/em><\/p>\n

    Talk with a board-certified dermatologist before beginning bleach bath therapy.<\/h5>\n

    If you have questions or concerns about caring for eczema, you should make an appointment<\/a> to see a dermatologist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
