Efficacy of bleach baths in reducing severity of atopic dermatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study sought to determine the efficacy of bleach vs water baths at decreasing atopic dermatitis (AD) severity. In pooled analyses, there were no significant differences observed between bleach vs water baths at 4 weeks vs baseline for the Eczema Area and Severity Index. Although bleach baths are effective in decreasing AD severity, they do not appear to be more effective than water baths alone.
