Skin clues for eczema in babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny skin samples from babies to find clues about eczema. It uses a gentle, painless device that sucks up a small piece of skin. If your baby has eczema or is healthy and under 6 months old, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses special imaging to look at the structure of skin, comparing people with eczema (who have used steroid creams) to healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how the skin changes with eczema and its treatment.
This study looks at how eczema may be connected to the brain and sleep, using questionnaires and MRI scans. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and how treatments could be improved.
This study looks at the bacteria and other tiny organisms living on your skin to learn more about skin conditions like eczema. It may help doctors understand why some people get these skin problems.
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 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 trial tests a new dermocosmetic cream for children with eczema. It looks at how well the cream works and how gentle it is on the skin, after the child uses a prescribed steroid cream to calm a flare-up.
