Does bathing frequency matter in pediatric atopic dermatitis?

Does bathing frequency matter in pediatric atopic dermatitis?: The debate about the clinical role of bathing frequency in atopic dermatitis (AD) has been ongoing for more than 100 years.1,2 Recently, we published data that highlight this debate; primary care physicians more often recommend infrequent bathing, whereas allergists and pediatric dermatologists recommend frequent bathing.3 The lack of consensus has resulted in parental confusion regarding the matter. For instance, we found that among parents who have seen multiple providers for their child's AD, more than 75% reported a significant amount of confusion and frustration owing to conflicting advice on bathing frequency.
