title: Know how. Wet wraps in atopic eczema.
abstract: Wet wraps play an important part in the management of children with eczema that does not respond to first-line treatment. They are used in hospitals and in the community, and provide great relief and comfort, but the procedure requires considerable input from the health team until the parents are confident of their technique.
