Why is eczema sometimes treated with a diluted bleach bath? And what do I need to know before trying it?

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, July 12, 2023

Diluted bleach baths are a common treatment doctors and nurses use for patients with more severe eczema.

Key Points: 
  • Diluted bleach baths are a common treatment doctors and nurses use for patients with more severe eczema.
  • It is important to note they may not replace other treatments and may not be suitable for everyone.

Germs can colonise damaged eczema skin

    • The person’s skin barrier becomes damaged and itchy, allowing germs to get established and cause even more problems.
    • The most common germ found in the damaged eczema skin is staphylococcus aureus.
    • Certain toxic materials known as “membrane-bound vesicles” are released by the staph germ, which causes an even more profound reaction in the skin, worsening the eczema.
    • Treating – or at least reducing – the amount of staph in the skin can help the eczema recover.

Reducing inflammation


    Researchers have also shown sodium hypochlorite can reduce inflammation in the skin. This is another reason the treatment is recommended. Eczema often involves a vicious cycle of inflammation, where redness and increasing itchiness leads to scratching and even more irritation. The skin breaks even more and the eczema worsens, leading to yet more inflammation. A diluted bleach bath can help break this vicious cycle.

You need to know what you’re doing

    • Diluted bleach bath instructions need to be tailored to the eczema, so don’t try it at home unless you’ve been advised by a dermatologist or doctor.
    • Dilution ratio: The bleach should be diluted in the bathwater to ensure it is safe for your skin.
    • A typical dilution ratio may be ½ cup (120 ml) of household bleach (containing 5-6% sodium hypochlorite) per 150 litres of lukewarm water.
    • However, the exact dilution ratio may vary based on the severity of your eczema, age and other factors.
    • Children may need less bleach in their bath.

An essential, yet challenging step in the root canal procedure process, tissue removal is a key indicator of efficacy and how quickly the root canal system can be cleaned.

Key Points: 
  • An essential, yet challenging step in the root canal procedure process, tissue removal is a key indicator of efficacy and how quickly the root canal system can be cleaned.
  • Conventional methods of root canal treatment depend primarily on files to manually scrape and remove tooth structure and enlarge the canal space to facilitate irrigation.
  • Studies have shown that files alone do not successfully remove all bacteria and infected tissue, with approximately 74% of all root canal procedures showing signs of residual tissue and bacteria post-procedure.
  • "These results reinforce the effectiveness and clinical impact of our technology, proving it to be the most efficient method for tissue dissolution in root canal treatment,” said Michael Smith, chief commercial officer of Sonendo.
