Eczema Bathing Study
How often should we bathe?
Do you have questions about how best to bathe when you have eczema? If so, this study is for you!
Everyone is welcome. We are looking for people of all ages and all backgrounds to take part.
When we say “you” in the information below, this mean the person taking part in the study – that could be yourself or your child, or someone that you look after.

If you agree to take part in study, we will put you into one of two groups:
Group 1: will be asked to have a bath or shower no more than twice a week
Group 2: will be asked to have a bath or shower 6 or more times per week
You will be in the study for 4 weeks. You can still wash your face and body at the sink using a flannel or sponge on days when you do not have a bath or shower. You can also wash your hair between showers or baths. You can continue to use your eczema treatment as often as you need to.

Why is this study important?
We don’t know if taking baths or showers more often or less often can help with your eczema. In our Eczema Bathing Study, we are trying to find out if one approach works better than the other. To answer this question, we need 390 volunteers to take part in the study.
Who can take part?
You can take part if you:
- Have eczema
- Live in the UK
- Are at least 1 year old in age
- Are willing to change how often you have a bath / shower for 4 weeks
You cannot take part if:
- Your eczema is very mild or you don’t have symptoms at the moment
- You have had a tablet treatment or light therapy for eczema in the last 3 months
- You only have eczema on your hands
- Your eczema is only in places where your skin is in contact with nickel e.g. jewellery
- Your eczema is only around varicose veins
- You have started a new eczema treatment in the last 2 weeks
- You are taking part in another eczema study where you are trying something new for your eczema like a treatment or medicine.
- You are planning to swim more than once a week in the next 4 weeks (including surfing, scuba diving etc)
- Someone else from your household is already taking part in the Eczema Bathing Study
If you are aged under 16 years your parent/carer will need to agree for you to take part.
Do I have to take part?
No, its up to you whether to take part in this study. If you have any questions, you can contact us here, and we will answer them: RapidEczemaTrials@nottingham.ac.uk
If you do agree to take part, we’d love you to complete the 4 week study. But if you decide to take part now but change your mind later, that is fine too. You can stop taking part at any time, without having to give us a reason, unless you want to.
