Official Title: The Effect of Bathing and Moisturizers on Skin Hydration in Atopic Dermatitis: an in Vivo Study

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the hydration effect of various regimens of skin bathing and moisturizer application on atopic dermatitis

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Srinakharinwirot University

Current Primary Outcome: Skin hydration (skin capacitance) by using Corneometer and the trans-epidermal water loss value by using Tewameter of various regimens of bathing and moisturizer application [ Time Frame: The skin hydration (capacitance value) and transepidermal water loss value were assessed at baseline and every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after each regimen. ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: skin hydration (capacitance value) by using Corneometer and transepidermal water loss value by using Tewameter between immediate and delayed (30 minutes) moisturizer application after bathing. [ Time Frame: The skin hydration (capacitance value) and TEWL value were assessed at baseline and every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after each regimen. ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
