I'm glad this worked for you and made a difference for your skin and gave you and/or your husband relief. I think you made a very good point and it is exactly what I am trying to say, it is easy to make a mistake with little babies and misunderstand how to do this correctly. That is what scares me. Amy,

My husband tried the bleach solution on his eczema and it worked real well for him. I used about 1/5 of a cup of ordinary bleach (which is 6% hypocholorite on the label) in an ordinary size tub that was like a foot deep and I tried to soak all my problem areas about 10 minutes. This is the most effective eczema remedy I have found. For toddlers in a baby bath, it would be easy to make the solution too strong. You can use only about one to two teaspoons of 6% hypochlorite bleach (ordinary Chlorox) for a baby bath. Those baby tubs are very small and a teaspoon is such a tiny amount that it would be easy to make a mistake. I have tried the bleach solution on myself and it worked really well for me.

Error on the side of caution for sure, but you need to know what you are writing about before you post an opinion.

I am very interested in trying the bleach bath. Could you tell me how long it took before you feel your skin healed? I have spent hundreds of dollars on creams and treatment, and it's been 2 years of hell. Did you use a particular brand of bleach? From what I've heard it's important not to use "super strength" bleach. How many times a week did bath? I have the dry type of eczema (not weeping type), so I know this will dry out my skin further, but worth a try. Also, did you add 1/2 cup to a full bath, or 1 cup?Thanks so much, Gwen Hi Peggy, I too suffer from eczema (I'm 47 yrs. old), and have had this particular breakout for 2 years.

I don't think people say no to bleach water and their child for "silly green uniformed" reasons - but the thoughts of bleach in my child's bath water causes an eye brow to raise. Regardless, it is about choices and making informed ones for your family. I am glad that it worked for you, you feel comfortable and that hopefully did it correctly.

THE BLEACH BATH WORKS PEOPLE! It doesn't cure it..it just keeps the skin infections at bay and help keep the irritation to a minimum. I have tried enough "miracle cures" to know that everything has either failed to work at all or stops working after a brief period. This is the first simple remedy we have tried that we can honestly say has made a significant difference to our child's well being. This includes trying sea salt in the bath water. I feel sorry for the kids whose parents WON'T try this for silly "green" uninformed simplistic reasons. Get over it people and help your kids.

Again, it might be not be toxic in "low" concentrations assuming that the parent is using it correctly and is informed. Another issue not addressed here is breathing the fumes and venelation - in my bathroom this would cause me to have breathing issues let alone my child with asthma. Matt, thank you for commenting.
