Thanks for your thoughts, Jordan. I'm glad bleach baths are helping your wife--I know what a relief it is to find something that helps.

I've also tried bleach baths in the past, in fact I can't think of much I haven't tried. I was in a clinical trial in the States for Protopic---there's a scientific name that I can't recall. It worked well at first, really made quite a big difference at first, although I still had to augment it was cortisone.

What I'm using now, and what I wrote about, seems entirely different. It not only stopped the itching and the mindless sort of scratching that happened whenever I got stressed, it actually changed the texture and appearance of my skin. Really, it's been a miracle for me.

My best wishes to your wife for continued eczema free days. Best, Janice
