Recommendations for the use of topical antimicrobials and antiseptics for the treatment of atopic dermatitis
| Except for bleach baths with intranasal mupirocin, no topical antistaphylococcal treatment has been shown to be clinically helpful in patients with atopic dermatitis, and is not routinely recommended. |
| In patients with moderate to severe AD and clinical signs of secondary bacterial infection, bleach baths and intranasal mupirocin may be recommended to reduce disease severity. |
