Human Milk for Atopic Eczema: A Natural Remedy?

Atopic eczema, a common skin condition, is often treated with emollients and topical corticosteroids. However, some caregivers are hesitant to use steroids.

The researchers conducted a small, randomized, split-body, controlled, blinded pilot study comparing the effects of fresh human milk with an emollient on eczema spots. While the study was small and preliminary, the findings suggest that fresh human milk might offer a potential alternative to emollients in the treatment of mild atopic eczema.
