How often should I bathe if I have eczema or atopic dermatitis?
If you have eczema or atopic dermatitis, it's generally recommended to bathe every one to two days. Short, lukewarm baths can help keep your skin hydrated, but avoid hot water and long baths, as they can worsen dryness. After bathing, it’s important to apply a moisturiser to lock in moisture.
Key points:
- Bathe every one to two days for hydration.
- Use lukewarm water to avoid skin irritation.
- Limit bath time to prevent skin dryness.
- Apply moisturiser immediately after bathing.
