You might consider talking to your grandaughter’s doctors about a small study of 31 kids that showed applying intranasal antibiotics and bathing twice weekly for 5-10 minutes each time in a diluted bleach solution (half a cup of 6% bleach per full standard tub) reduced eczema symptoms. Only skin submerged in the bath water showed improvement. Larger studies are needed to confirm results and test long-term safety.

It has gotten progressively worse and specialists have tried many creams, oral medications and more. I would appreciate any help and advice on successfully treating this life changing disease. She is itching 24/7, waking up at night, has open sores from scratching and shedding skin on her sheets. Thank you so much.
