Jesus, I thought this was a joke. You learn something new everyday.
😲 me too! Wow
Apm me too lol
My daughter's infectious disease doctor recommends this.
Same
Pools have bleach.....
I was burned on over 40% of my body in 1985. After an extensive skin graft surgery, the nurses gave me several beach baths (during which they searched and removed staples from my new grafted areas 😖) to combat infections. I was only 6 years old at the time but thought it was interesting. 👍🏾
Thank you for this information, I was not aware of a hand washing option
God’s continued Blessing.
soli Sanchez I always say that. Also, when someone says “god has blessed me”
Or “god provided for us.” My question is, god couldn’t provide for the kid being brutalized by junkie parents or pedophiles? Why did “he” chose to bless YOU?
Peace Pharvin Thank you 🙏, May the Lord bless you also.
soli Sanchez - I wondered the same thing myself… Especially when I started dating... until I realized that the burns caused people to either judge me and feel sorry for me or be curious to get to know me, my heart. I ended up attracting some of the most beautiful (inside and out) people to me. God works all things together for our good. I am truly living that out in my life.
I had the issue of underarm boils when I was in my twenties. They are so very painful, I wish I had heard of this method way back then! I have not had any for years now but my granddaughter has had a couple. I will definitely pass your video on to her!
Thank so much for all the information you share. I also appreciate that you speak so that a lay person, like myself, can understand what you are saying!
Lastly, your skin looks beautiful!
My doc suggested this for eczema and I was shocked. But I tried it and it 100% works. It stops the spreading and the incontrolable itching and then your body can heal bc you’re not scratching it open again.
Lauren Seise I would maybe love to see an FDA approval for like a diluted patch that you can get over the counter.
Really? I have eczema only on my feet I might try that!
My little nephew has severe eczema and his doctor recommended bleach baths and it really helped him!
Which kind of bleach must i use ?
@@farahhassan8995 normal thick household bleach I use 2 caps of it in a half full bath good for Ingrown hairs too
I literally was diagnosed today with atopic dermatitis and my allergist and my dermatologist recommended bleach baths. I honestly have never heard of a bleach bath until now.
Thank you for this video!
Dang I thought you were debunking some new crazy trend! But hey we love multitasking self care: clean ya skin, clean ya tub 😂
Ashley I’m thinking the same lol 😂
I'm both fascinated and horrified.
Pools hace beach....
I had/have a high amount of staph on my skin since I was little. My skin used to have such bad rashes anytime I had any of the smallest of cuts. I started doing bleach baths and it has done wonders for me ❤️ it’s given me the most relief with something I was constantly suffering with as a child
@@Anna-wd8ox how long till u seen results
Horrified but you swim in the pool ?
You sound extremely intelligent
@@Eye-it-azz right
My oldest daughter had severe eczema when she was younger and her dermatologist recommended bathing in bleach and it did help her tremendously! I honestly forgot about it until seeing your video. It’s such a small amount there is no need to be scared. It truly can help for these skin conditions ❤️
@Capricornn x. no it did not cure it but it was soothing and reduced that flare she. She still has eczema but it’s no longer everywhere. It’s more on specific areas of her body. I would recommend trying the bleach bath just a very small amount and see how your skin responds. Good luck 🙂 I hope it helps you.
So relieved that this is something that you recommend! I’m a community pharmacist and I recommend bleach baths to my patients - especially for eczema. People are frequently surprised how well this technique works 😁
I couldn’t believe when my moms dermatologist recommended a bleach bath, but it ended up really helping her eczema. I was ready to tell my mom to find a new dermatologist 😂
@@mr1nine81don’t wash your hair with it it can get in your eyes and make you blind try tea tree oil in a clarifying shampoo before anything
@@mr1nine81if you have big flakes of dandruff you can brush it off the scalp with a metal comb and olive oil to make the flakes more easy to come off
I used to have eczema all over my body which by 9th grade localized to my hands. I got a job hand washing dishes in a restaurant. We had chlorox in the rinse water. At end of summer my eczema was gone!
Amazing!
I gotta say the title was alarming, but certainly got me to click.
It helps you with postin ivy
Thank You for this video! I heard about bleach baths for eczema some time ago and was so shocked! But now thanks to You I understand how it works :)
My derm is from Russia, and she told me a tablespoon in bleach dilluted in bath of water would help with folliculitis, and I can testify that it worked amazing for me. PS I love your videos, now I use panoxyl and eucerin with lactic acid and I cannot thank you enough!!! You are a skincare legend frfr. Just switched from LRP anthelios to Purito comfy water... #lifechanging
OMG how do you do that? Everyday? I've never heard about it before
Yas I love bleach baths!
Was your folliculitis on the face also?
@@MahaAbboud I had on all over body... For face and body wash, I would say panoxyl as face and body wash. For face moisturizer, I would say cicaplast baume b5 and colloidal oatmeal lotion for body.. if cicaplast is too harsh for skin, switch to a colloidal oatmeal lotion for face. For baths I would say hot bath with a cap full of bleach. For masks maybe a good yogurt or probiotic mask. But I am not a derm, this is mostly knowledge from what I learn from Dr drays videos.
i have foliculitis i need this am gonna buy it
My parents used to bath us & themselves like this all the time growing up. We never measured it out, just poured it in. My mom would even sometimes mix bleach & pinesol. Also, we never rinsed it off. When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were gonna say it was a bad thing. We didn't have any skin ailments growing up. My dad was just a germophobe, and did it for that purpose.
This video saved me. Every spring I get a rash on my arms for about a month and a half after going into the sun after winter. This time the rash stayed and nothing I did was helping. I was making an appointment with the dermatologist but I saw this video and took a bleach bath on Sunday. It's Friday now and the rash is completely gone. The skin still needs to heal and I will have lighter splotches of skin until it evens out but the irritation and redness are gone and the bumpiness is going away. All it took was one 8 minute bleach bath.
Nice to learn about a bleach bath!
The title sure got my attention too!
Thanks Dr. Dray .
This is great advice! Dr. Dray, I know this works for people with periodontal disease. Just a capful of basic bleach with no additives to a waterpik reservoir fillled with water kills harmful bacteria on the gums. I use the pocket tool which squirts the water into the gum line. Use on lowest setting when starting. I suffer from excema, and will be using your method for my hands. Sending love to you and MOM. Wish her a Happy Mother’s Day!
I love this for general cleanliness now and again. I rush a shower midweek dashing to work and doing this makes me feel super clean and I love the smell
Hi dr dray I am medical student in year 3 and I aspire to be a dermatologist thanks to you 😍🥰
Love from Malaysia
Same with me!
blue222blue thank you 😊
Best of luck! We need more great dermatologists, I suffered from eczema for years before finding one that really helped my skin.
Deploy the waterfall dam slide 😂
Thanks for all your advice! I watched your other videos and my skin is better than before.
Bleach baths were common when I was growing up for chigger bites. Good to know dermatologists approve of this old time remedy. Have a wonderful evening, Dr Dray! Happy Friday!! 💖
Not sure what you are doing differently but your skin is super glowing! Pretty!
I have used this for my son to help with his eczema and impetigo. Makes such a difference.
My granddaughter had a mild to moderate case of eczema when she was a baby, the doctor prescribed hydrocortisone creams for her and although they are effective I didn’t want to constantly use that. After much research we started giving her bleach baths and implemented other skin care routines for her and it definitely helped her skin.
OMG I REALLY NEED THIS. YOU’RE A LIFE SAVER! THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU.
I JUST literally finished a bleach bath and now I'm researching whether or not it was safe! I have eczema and mild acne on my back. I'm glad I found your video. My dermatologist recommended in years ago, but I forgotten the guidelines for them. Thank you for sharing!
How are you doing now?
I've been doing this during my pedicures once a week or every two weeks. It's good, because I just throw in my nail tools in the bleach water and they get disinfected too. My feet are normally dry and do not smell, but those who suffer from foot odor would benefit greatly from soaking their feet in bleach water. Make sure you apply vaseline or better yet kerasal afterwards and put on some cotton socks.
what type bleach do you use?
I have always gotten little red bumps under my butt on the back of my legs. I have thought they are from heat and sweat. I am going to try this!
You look so cute with the headband and your skin looks amazing !!!
Omg!!! I love you! You always open my eyes to new things💋
Would love to see you do those videos where you review skincare routines, and illuminate us on what could be beneficial and what could be problematic... ❤️❤️❤️Dr. Dray❤️❤️❤️
I’m thankful that you made this video. My fiancé has boils on his inner thighs and he was told by his doctor to take bleach baths, which he has been doing but it freaked me out. I’m glad you explained it so well and I now understand the reasoning behind it
Did it cure the boils ? are you still together 1 year on ?
Yup love ur method more dilution for me is more water to pre mixed diluted bleach solution added to bath water after that rinse well with fresh water
Yes!!! I used to have a younger step brother with severe eczema all over his face & body and I remember him getting bleach baths very often growing up because it was the only thing that helped relieve his flare ups & keep everything under control! I thought it was the craziest thing when I first saw it!
Did they wash his face with the bleach water?
Using household bleach to bathe in or to do a foot soak is something our family has done for years. It definitely helps undermine various skin eruptions and fungi, eliminate odor as well as making you private areas especially clean and fresh. As mentioned you must rinse and moisturize thoroughly afterward .
Compresses are definitely the better option for those who have something like asthma and might be more sensitive to it! I also know people that hate baths that use a spray bottle for it.
Thank you so much for all your videos, Dr. Dray! :)
Very simple thing to do for some nasty skin conditions!
Thank you for your help and advice 😊
Stay safe and healthy everyone 😊🍁
Happy Friday!
I did this for my hands when I was dealing with Eczema. HELPED...Proved to me that eczema has a Staph component
I'm going to follow your instructions, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Directions for a bleach compress was exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!
Thank you so much you helped me tremendously. I love the idea of doing the bleach compress.
My mom is a nurse and she takes a bleach bath once a week. I thought she was just being country.
Jaimie Elizabeth
I am a nurse and I do this as well.
BEING COUNTRY OMG I JUST DIED
@@loganmomable Wouldn't Hibiclens do just as well?
My sister is a nurse and she never takes bleach baths as far as I know. But maybe because she doesn't have a skin condition that warrants it? 🤔
@@jennyr1625 yes I wonder if there's any benefits if you don't have a condition
THANK YOU I was expecting this topic from you to finally trust it. ♥️
Just tried it and I feel so much relief from not being itchy! Thanks
Was just going to do a video on this on my new dermatology channel. I totally can relate to your intro as patients look at me like I’m crazy when I suggest a bleach bath for their eczema! My recipe for diluted bleach is the same as well. 🤙👍
They helped my daughter with her eczema so much! I only had to fo a few until her eczema was under control along with Eucerin eczema relief for babies and aquaphor.
What bleach do u use
As a dental hygienist this is not at all shocking to me. In fact, early on during my education and career, I learned to recommend a diluted bleach water mouthwash (sodium hypochlorite) to my patients with aggressive types of periodontal disease. There is a lot of research out there about it eliminating those aggressive periodontal pathogens. So it makes sense for the skin too.
I have HS and I use a hibicleanse as my Dr. And NP told me to do and I've done the antibiotics and the topical creams which help especially during bad flare ups. But my routine is cleansing using liquid Pure Castile soap with no fragrance, Hibicleanse, drinking apple cider vinegar mixed with water or tea, and ZAPZYT from Walmart which literally clears up a boil in two days and it's only $5! I've suffered a long time and this is what truly helped me. I've had maybe 3 intense flare ups this year
How much ACV do you mix with your water? And how does zapzyt help?
Hi Dr. Dray, I love your videos! Would you consider doing a video on protein overload of the hair? I've heard stylists talk endlessly about how using too many products with protein can make the hair damaged and limp, but I am having a hard time finding scientific sources on this! I have bleach-damaged hair and (aside from no longer bleaching), I've been using products with keratin in it---I'm hoping I'm not doing something to make the state of my hair worse.
This has definitely worked for me. One thing that I used to do was also put it into a spray bottle for when I didn't have time to take a bath (or traveling and didnt feel comfortable taking a bath), would just spray it on after a shower, wait a bit then rinse it off.
Sarah Miller I think I’m going to try that. The drain stopper is broken on my tub and I prefer showers anyways
What ratio did you use? How big of a bottle and how much bleach? Thanks for the tip in advance!
@@Alexandraincognito I just guesstimate honestly, it's an insanely small amount. Via instructions I used from online:
Mix 2 ml of 2.2% household bleach for every 1 litre of water to make a 0.005% solution.
Very informative great video Dr Dray! Wishing your Mom a very Happy Mother’s Day! 💞🌈💐
Useful information! Thank you Dr.Drey you da best!
Thank you for doing a video on this! I have HS and this is something I've considered doing and I have wondered if it would be helpful :)
Thank you for this. :) Good to know if I would ever need to treat a condition like that. Hydrocortisone has been good on my atopic excema, and I was recently diagnosed with St. Anthony's fire, but that needed strong antibiotics in order to not become a blood poisoning. And I'm glad we still have antibiotics that work. The overuse is a huge issue that frightens me, as in this case my life might depend on the antibiotics working.
We take baths in bleach in UAE a few times a yr thank you for all your vids I have learned so much.
God bless you
الشيخه ممكن تعطيني تفاصيل استخدامج وهل اهو مضر او لا ولو ابي اوقفه اللون يسمر او لا وكيف على المنطقه الحساسه مع الكلور مايصيده التهاب
My daughter has a skin condition (ichthyosis) and we often do bleach baths . It really helps
Wow, this is the first I’ve ever heard of a bleach bath!
Learned something new today! Thanks Dr Dray👍❤
Learned something new today. Thank you Dr. Dray.
Bleach baths totally work for my body acne. Just a small amount diluted in water, my old dermatologist recommended it for me.
What kind of bleach did you used?
I'm going to try this. My body acne is so bad
I'm going to try this. My body acne is so bad
Laide Zen try Panoxyl 10% too
Hi dear the water should b warm or hot?
As a pharmacist, I used to make an wound care treatment called Dakin’s solution. The sodium hypochlorite was the active ingredient.
I have been doing this for years since my Dermatologist recommended it for my eczema. It really does help!!!
Thank you for this! My adult son suffers with eczema and HS under his arm pits. His studio apartment only has a shower so the washcloth tip will be very helpful.
This is something older people used to do so in my world it isn’t uncommon. I’m glad you talked about this ❤️
But they would use a cap full of Clorox and you’d take a bath and that’s that
Been doing this for a long time has never let me down
This was very helpful. Thank you!
It's really helpful since I have eczema and acquired a staph infection.
I'm going to try this out... I get impetigo on my hands because of my eczema. Thank you for the helpful tips!
I’m totally trying this. I have nasty folliculitis on my trunk and butt so this should help! You’re the best.
Tiffany Zoe can you update after you try?
Any update? I would like to introduce to my 8 year old with eczema
Let us know ? How it went
Interesting. I suffer from eczema. Initially, it seems counter intuitive to me for some reason, but your explanation makes sense. 💜
I'm going to try a bleach compress for eczema behind my knees. They have driven me crazy for years now. Thank you Dr Dray!
I had a doctor recommend this to me one time because I had been getting painful boils in my armpit area. I do it on occasion still.
Happy Friday Dr. Dray 👏🏻❤️
Oh WOW!! This is really informative!! Thank you so much!!!
Have been doing this on and off for 6 years now when I have bad eczema flare ups and this is a lifesaver! Seems scary, I know, but it does absolute wonders!
Did it lighten your skin?
Such an Interesting Topic Dr. Dray!! I Can See How This Would Work!! Thank You For a Perfect Video as Always!! Sending You, Your Sweet Mom, and King Tybee Much Love!! Always!! Please Stay Safe and Well You Guys!! xoxoXO
Like I always say, you are a Rock Star Dr Dray⭐️
Hi Dr Dray! You should make a video on your journey in becoming a dermatologist!
Been doing this successfully for years on my fingernails and toenails. It works, just go easy.
Every now and then (not often) I like to take a bath with beach in the water. I don't have any skin conditions but I love the way it makes me feel.
crazy that im just now finding out about this and I've been watching skincare videos for YEARS
I am an ultrarunner so I get problems on my bottom from wet clothes and perspiration. I will definitely try the bleach bath. Thank you.
Well I guess my father wasn’t crazy . He took a bleach bath every week .
Lynn C 🤣 I guess he wasn’t .
My dad did the same thing!!! The whole family called him crazy, I'm eating my words...
@@prestonwilliams9531
If you can tell me which kind of bleach she use?
I have very discolored and crusty skin around my big toe. Have tried everything. Please help are no sandals for me.thank you for your great videos
Hi Dr Dray
Your hair looks so cute in this video 💕
I had only heard of this for poison ivy blisters, but not the other things. Good to know! Thanks!
You are glowing dr.dray :)
Hi DrDray you’re such a queen 💞💜💞💜
Great video and topic information. I'm sure this will help a lot of people. :)
Whenever i go to swimming pool time to time, i felt like my acne got better (though my skin gets drier in general) and i always wonder if chlorine kills my acne lol
Yes it does!
Now I wanna go for a swim
Yeeees now I just connected those dots too!
I noticed that, too!
Check out Medical medium Anthony Williams. You can heal .
I've suffered from atopic dermatitis most of my life. Then an allergist recommended bleach baths. Life changer! However, I could not help dabbing the water all over my face. Sooooo good. After the baths, all I can describe is a wonderful feeling of lightness. For a while after the baths, I didn't feel my skin was hating me. Remarkable improvement.
My sister had the same condition and result. She said it's changed her life!
I actually did not even know this was a thing. I have always struggled with extremely bad eczema. Literally it always feels like my entire body is always so so so itchy. My hands are usually the worst. One day I was cleaning and Made a bleach water solution. I had been struggling severely that day but was determined to push through it. Almost instantaneously upon dipping my hands into the water too wet rag I felt instant relief! I cannot believe cleaning with bleach could be so soothing. I later talk to my mom about it and we did some research and apparently this really works. Can’t wait to take my first bleach bath.
My mom and I both use the 1 tsp to one gallon for a 10 minute foot soak! Thank you for this. My feet have been so itchy lately (weirdly only in bed at 3 am) and am trying this tonight! I hope it kills whatever is on my feet!
I use to take bleach baths when I was a kid my mom thought it was a good idea so she let me do it but not too much Bleach. She raised a smart cookie!💡😉
I was convinced that you would be talking about some new bleach bath trend and decrying it. I’m pretty shocked and interested that I was dead wrong 😂
My family member had SEVERE eczema to the point where people would stare cause they thought there was something wrong with him he was kid and didn't know how to not scratch which made his wounds get even worse. The doctor suggested bleach baths in combination with other practices and medicines of course then his skin cleared up dramatically and every since then you would never know that he has a skin condition.
Everybody got choices Make the right one that’s amazing
I had to give my son bleach bath when he was younger, he has awful eczema, and nothing would helped! The dr did a swap and it was infected with staphylococcus, the bleach bath killed the bacteria, and he pretty got better in 2 weeks times. It works!
Learned to do this a while back to help the severity of my eczema outbreaks. Works really well!
Speaking of eczema. Do you know of a good deep moisturizing but light feeling lotion that absorbs well? My biggest thing about eczema lotions are how thick they stay on top of the skin even after massaging them in. Gets all over the place..
@@notahamsterr try the bioderma creme or the intensive baume, i love both
This was a very interesting video. I have been going to dermatologist for over 30 years and have never heard anything like it.
Maybe they don't know about it or want to keep you going back
