Summary

There are few studies evaluating best bathing practices in the management of pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD). Trans-epidermal water loss plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AD. In concert with application of topical corticosteroids (TCS), we sought to investigate whether frequent soaking baths (i.e. twice daily for two weeks), followed immediately by application of an occlusive moisturizer (i.e. soak-and-seal), would be more effective than infrequent soaking baths (i.e. twice weekly for two weeks) in the management of AD.
