How frequently do you recommend bathing children with atopic dermatitis?

Atopic Dermatitis

You? Well, you know, that's going to differ depending on how severe the skin disease is. But generally speaking, you can bathe them up to once daily, and especially if they're pretty dirty people, if they play sports or run around a lot or get in the dirt up to once daily. Certainly, you don't have to do once daily. Every other day is reasonable. The key is, though, using moisturizing cleansers and applying moisturizers after the bath or shower, those are really the key. So if you're going to do the bath, there must be moisturizing cleansers and moisturizing creams applied afterwards to all areas of the body, especially those that are affected. So that's the key. It's not so much how few or how many baths the kids get. It's really more about what you're doing after the bath or shower.
