Perhaps 1/3 less. Q: How often can I take an oatmeal bath? A: Everyday, if you’d like. It’s extremely gentle. Q: How does this compare to Aveeno’s oatmeal packets? A: This is 1000 times better.

Tanhks for the vid. it nice to see info about eczema. my eczemz has got a lot better beacase my mother gave me a lot of oatmeal baths.when i was a child. i just don’t like the scars and marks that are left behind.
I use the sam shea/hydrocortisone. I mix mine together I apply them to the areas affected & I dnt towel dry those areas so i can seal in that water. Be careful with the bath. Some eczema harbors yeast and the yeast can feed on that milk
nice video! I used to do oatmeal soaks.

I have eczema and so do both of my children. During the winter I put 2 tbsp on grape seed oil in their baths. I let them wash with black soap or dr. bronner’s soap. They use shea butter on their skin. This works for all 3 of us. I will try the oatmeal bath if things get bad, but most people don’t even know we have eczema because these things work so effectively for us.
i had all my life and for me no. i usually get it on my hands and arms – you can see it in my videos .
Nope, so far so good ^_^

If you already have oats just grind them in a grinder or food processor. Voila! Fresh oat flour!
For King it helps, but if yu stop using it it’ll get worse..n they give yu a lil tube.
I got Celiac,i cant have oatmeal on it but the rest is good.
