No Evidence Eczema Bath Products Work
Eczema bath products, most of which contain liquid paraffin, are of “questionable” value, according to an article in the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB), from the BMJ Group. The UK National Health Service (NHS) spends 40% of its total eczema treatment costs for pre-school children on bath emollients. These gels, creams and lotions have very little published research to back them, says the DTB.
