Abstract

Nine patients with atopic dermatitis were treated with sea water therapy for seven days on the pacific beach during summer. The sea water therapy mainly consisted of washing the skin with sea water, after which their bodies were also completely washed with soap and fresh warm water.
All patients showed remarkable improvements in skin manifestation and decreased itching. This therapy was especially effective in severe patients who had not previously responded to either elimination diet, medication with oral anti-allergy drugs, or steroid ointment before sea water therapy. Sea water therapy may be useful for some children with intractable atopic dermatitis.
