This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.
The Eczema Bathing Study is part of the Rapid Eczema Trials project. The researchers hope to answer many questions about how to manage eczema through this project. People with eczema are helping to prioritise, design and run these studies. This means that the project will answer important questions for people with eczema. In the Eczema Bathing Study, the researchers will test how often people with eczema should have a bath or a shower to best manage their eczema.
