Skin oil study for healthy adults and skin conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the oils (sebum) on your skin to learn more about skin health and conditions. It involves a simple, non-invasive sampling using a special sticky tape, and may help improve future skin care and treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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 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 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 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.
