Collecting skin samples from people with skin conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study collects skin samples (like small biopsies or swabs) from people with certain skin conditions and from healthy volunteers. The samples help researchers learn more about these conditions and may lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 or older (for acne, ages 18–45)
- Have one of these skin conditions: acne, atopic dermatitis (eczema), chronic hand eczema, hidradenitis suppurativa, palmoplantar pustulosis, or psoriasis — or be a healthy volunteer with no skin condition
- Be willing to give skin samples (like a small biopsy or swab)
- Not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study
- Be in good general health (if you're a healthy volunteer)

This trial studies chronic hand eczema (and sometimes related atopic skin disease) to better understand your condition and what may be going on in the skin. You may be asked to follow a study plan for a set period and avoid certain treatments just before joining.
This study looks at the skin’s germs (“microbiome”) in people with atopic dermatitis (eczema) or psoriasis. It may help researchers better understand what’s going on on the skin and how that might relate to disease severity.
This study collects blood, urine, and possibly small tissue samples to learn more about cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and either eczema or atopic dermatitis. It may help researchers better understand these skin conditions and improve future treatments.
This study looks for clues in your skin and blood that could predict how well you'll respond to treatments for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or lupus. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy for you.
This study looks at how atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, or other autoimmune skin diseases change over time and how the body responds to anti-inflammatory signals. Your information and—if eligible—samples help researchers find patterns that could guide better treatments.
This study looks at the types of germs on the skin (skin microbiome) in healthy people and people with skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers collect skin samples to understand how skin germs differ and how that may relate to skin health.
