Skin cleaning to reduce eczema severity
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether cleaning the skin to remove a common bacteria (Staph aureus) can help reduce eczema symptoms. It may offer a new way to manage eczema without relying only on creams or injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at why disease tends to be more severe in some people with atopic dermatitis (eczema), especially those with a specific genetic change in the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Ra). The results may help explain what drives flare-ups and could guide better treatments in the future.
This study tests whether a cream made from a friendly skin bacteria (Staphylococcus hominis) can help treat eczema. Eligible participants will apply the cream to eczema patches on their arms, legs, or trunk for several weeks.
This trial tests whether a cosmetic cream can reduce eczema flare-ups and is comfortable/safe to use on very dry, irritated, eczema-prone skin. It’s mainly for children who have had recent flare-ups and moderate eczema severity.
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.
This study tests whether a specific diet can help manage mild to moderate eczema. It involves eating whole foods provided by the researchers for a set period and tracking your skin health.
This study tests a new ointment containing probiotics (good bacteria) to see if it helps with eczema in children. It is a cream that is applied to the skin, and the goal is to see if it reduces the itching and redness.
