Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Bathing worsens skin dryness in people with eczema?

No. A 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis found daily bathing/showering was not associated with worse atopic dermatitis severity and should be permitted, and a small pilot study reported bathing with bicarbonate bath salts improved dry skin. A general bathing article links frequent infant bathing to eczema development, but that concerns causation of eczema rather than worsening of dryness.
