For elementary school children with atopic dermatitis, a skin care program using shower therapy was performed during the school lunch break for 6 weeks from June to July in 2004 and 2005. All 53 participants showed an improvement in their atopic dermatitis during the 6‐week periods studied. Skin care with daily showering at an elementary school was thus found to be effective for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
