Bleach bath helped with my daughters eczema.

[@noice1983]

I'm convinced that recurrent eczema is caused by some fungal or bacterial infection

[@moyamontgomery1468]

I agree. Mine started with swimming at the local pool

[@tilliegeorgia453]

I got some kind of bites after a vacation and bleach baths knocked it out in a week.

[@sukkiebe]

I am living in Belgium and I am surprised here no one have even suggested me about bleach on skin all I have been suggested for was stupid temporary creams which are irritating even more, I have figured this method like two years ago from an another video and I have been just using this method on the spots I have eczeme on like my inner part of my hands (the fold) which is getting sometimes itchy and begins with like tiny dots rash and I know the good amount of bleach is when it stings for like two seconds and then relaxes my skin complete for the rest of the day until the next day, which I am very happy for, I have also used on mosquito bites on my boyfriend (usually mosquitos don't even bite me but him) which calms the itchiness even on mosquito bites and he can go back to sleep in the middle of the night without constantly being itching himself.

Oatmeal coconut oil and fragrance free epson salt is better.

How long should you sit the bath for ? Or is this just a rinse?

Should sit inside for 5-10 minutes usually

[@jonbeckleymorrisblues]

But are they okay for people with Open silver dollar size open wounds from leg blisters due to lymphedema?

[@drkiddMD]

Bleach baths can often be used with minor wounds present but your case sounds like it would be best assessed by a doctor first before considering it.

[@jonbeckleymorrisblues]

@@drkiddMD Thank you so much. Been dealing with these open wounds for years. Just want them to close permanently so I can wear compression socks.

[@BirBey-ik1wj]

I have only oily eczema in my hair for 3 years, so only itching. Is it okay if I add a 1 teaspoon of bleach to a 1 liter(water) spray can?

[@drkiddMD]

Hi BirBey, I always have to be careful giving medical advice over the internet as I have not examined you in person so my advice would always be see your doctor for specific advice. However, adding 1 teaspoon of bleach to 1 litre spray is too strong as 1 teaspoon is roughly 5mls. This would be 5mls to 1L of water, where the concentration I recommend is usually 12mls per 10 litres. Furthermore, I am unsure of the effect of spraying bleach on the scalp as this is not a typical treatment. Hope that helps!
