Atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is the most common inflammatory skin disorder of children, affecting 10-20% of children and 1-2% of adults. This skin disorder can be associated with unbearable itchiness and an increased susceptibility to skin infections. The cause of AD is currently poorly understood; therefore, there are no targeted treatment options at present. There have been recent studies in adults with AD that explain the cause and give us new routes to investigate treatment options, however no major studies in this arena have been done in children. We hope to evaluate the skin and blood biomarkers that are found in pediatric AD and compare them to adult AD. Hypothesis: The immune system worsens the skin barrier issues that are common in atopic dermatitis. We believe there are similar immune and skin abnormalities in adult versus pediatric atopic dermatitis. Finally, blood levels of the activated molecules in atopic dermatitis can serve as surrogates for skin immune activation and will correlate with disease severity. Read Less

The study is focused on skin of color participants who have moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis, also referred to as eczema, is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, dry, and cracked. From the previous studies on the study drug, it is seen that the study drug has an acceptable safety and effectiveness in participants with atopic dermatitis. The aim of this study is to get additional information on the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, particularly the information on aspects of atopic dermatitis in skin of color participants. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: What side effects may happen from taking the study drug How much study drug is in your blood at different times How much the study drug improves quality of life and mental health Read Less

This is a randomized, controlled trial designed for children who are have already developed atopic dermatitis (AD or eczema) by 12 weeks of age. The aim is to compare the effect of proactive sequential skin care, including the twice-daily use of a tri-lipid skin barrier cream (Epiceram) or moisturizer and proactive use of fluticasone propionate cream, against reactive AD therapy, to reduce the occurrence and severity of AD in early infancy and thereby prevent food allergy (FA).
