Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is common and often gets worse in winter, dry weather, or when you’re sick. Frequent handwashing can make it worse. Daily moisturizers are the best way to prevent flares, and a few extra steps can really help.

Bleach baths can help with eczema, itchiness, and healing minor cuts, sores, or superficial skin infections. Always moisturize thoroughly afterward.
