Showering/bathing duration was not associated with AD outcomes. Severe SCORAD-sleep, o-SCORAD, EASI, and POEM were associated with less adherence to all showering/bathing recommendations. <b><i><u>Conclusion:</u></i></b> Showering/bathing daily or less frequently and applying moisturizer postshower/bath were associated with lower AD severity; showering/bathing duration was not.

Fragrance mix 2 and Mroxylon pereirae are relatively rare allergens among the Israeli pediatric population, whereas linalool hyperoxide might be considered an emerging allergen.
