Wet Wraps Technique (for Eczema)

Wet wraps are a treatment that uses a low-potency topical steroid and an emollient (moisturizer) to calm flares and improve the effectiveness of the medication. It is often used for those with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, especially children, where topical applications have not helped. Wet wraps involve double layers of tubular bandages forming a body suit. They work in two ways:
1. Evaporation cools the skin, reducing itching and discomfort. If the bandages become dry, you can remoisten them (this is usually only needed for an overnight treatment).
2. Rehydration puts moisture back into the skin as the skin absorbs large amounts of the product. It also improves the penetration of the medication into the skin.
