Bath Additives for Children with Eczema – No Benefit

A large (n = 482) well-conducted trial based in UK primary care has found “no evidence of clinical benefit of including emollient bath additives in the standard management of childhood eczema.”

Details of the trial – funded by the NHS National Institute for Health Research – can be found here.

Over the last 12 months, CCGs in Cumbria, the North East and North Yorkshire & the Humber spent over £1million on emollient bath additives.
