- When kids have atopic dermatitis, which is a type of eczema, their skin is dry and itchy, and needs moisture. Using wet wrap therapy can help keep skin moist, help medicines on the skin work better, and protect the skin from scratching.
Wet wraps are often recommended after a bath. Give your child a bath in warm, not hot, water. Use a gentle, cleanser if needed.
Lightly pat your child’s skin dry, without rubbing.
Within 3 minutes of getting your child out of the bath, apply any recommended creams and moisturizing ointments to the skin. Follow the doctor’s instructions for where each cream and ointment should be used, in what order they should be put on, and how long to wait in between each one.
Next, you’ll put a warm, wet layer on your child.
Soak a pair of form-fitting 100% cotton pajamas in clean, warm water.
Wring them out so that they are not dripping.
Put the wet pajamas on your child.
Then put dry pajamas or clothes on over the wet ones.
You can use cotton socks and gloves for eczema of the feet or hands.
Instead of wet pajamas, some families use a layer of wet medical gauze. Coban adhesive wrap can then be used to hold a layer of dry medical gauze in place.
Ask the doctor if you should rewet the wraps after a certain amount of time.
If your child uses prescription creams or topical steroids, also talk to the doctor about how long the wraps should be left on.
Wet wrap therapy can take a little getting used to, but it often helps skin feel better.

According to our Nemours Allergy/Dermatology team: "I have never seen this used in the treatment of eczema. I think this has a risk of being highly irritating to eczema skin. While children with eczema often have dry or peeling skin and the concept of exfoliation sounds beneficial, the treatment also states that it is for treating oily skin which is the exact opposite of eczema in which the skin is severely dry. I do not know of anyone using this technology at this time for the treatment of eczema." Please note: this video offers general information, not specific or personalized medical advice. Patients and their families should contact their health care provider for medical advice specific to their situations.

Really 😐...wet pajamas 😑😓
This eczema guide t.co/BTIL6ygIYD is actually beneficial as it gives you simple instructions about how the treatment is done to eliminate the eczema including the food items to avoid and achieve a better skin. Believe me, this makes sense. I do acknowledge that the guide will help. Very informative and a great help to get rid of eczema .
I know it sounds crazy, it was the last thing I tried for my baby girl with severe eczema after exhausting all my other options. She rarely has dry skin just always red, patchy and inflamed with tons of itch. I thought no way wet pajamas are gonna help- well I was proved wrong, I use organic white cotton, aquaphor and a fleece onsie over the wet pajamas to keep her bed dry. It works wonders, she is finally sleeping through the night.
