Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

The purpose of this study is to find out if the use of a hand cleanser that adds moisture to the skin will help improve skin rashes caused by frequent hand washing (hand dermatitis).

This study was designed to further increase the understanding of the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus in the affected skin of atopic dermatitis patients following repeated topical application of tacrolimus ointment 0.1%.

To determine if Tetrix Cream, when applied to the skin lesions on patients with contact dermatitis, improves the symptoms of burning and itching.

This is a joint research study between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) as titled above. In view of the increasing prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD), the lack of complete epidemiology data on childhood and adult AD in Hong Kong and the lack of complete understanding on the genetic and environmental factors associated with it, the purpose of this study to carry out an epidemiology and genetic study that targets AD patients within the local Hong Kong population. The investigators will search for new AD-associated genetic variants that are related to the local population and believe that the genetic profiles that arise from this project will form an important basis for the future management and treatment of AD, such as disease-risk screening strategy and therapeutic target development.

Sixty day single arm trial examining self-report and remote dermatology assessment of cosmetic skin health after daily 10-20 minute sessions with an infrared light therapy device (the Joovv Mini)

This study is being conducted to address key gaps in current knowledge and set the stage for rational design of strategies to prevent (pre-exposure to radiation), mitigate (post-exposure to radiation before overt signs/symptoms appear), and/or treat (post-onset of signs/symptoms) radiation dermatitis (itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin).

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design study of BLU-5937 for the treatment of chronic pruritus in adult subjects with atopic dermatitis (AD).

The overall objective of this study is to assess how a natural ingredient, isosorbide diesters (IDEAS), works in association with colloidal oatmeal for eczema.

To demonstrate the superiority of the investigational medicinal product (IMP; 0.3% OPA-15406 ointment, 1% OPA-15406 ointment, or vehicle) to the vehicle when administered twice daily for 4 weeks using success rate in Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) at Week 4 as the primary endpoint in pediatric patients with Atopic Dermatitis (AD).

Unlike healthy control skin, the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is frequently colonized by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), putting these patients at increased risk of S. aureus skin infections. In addition, research in the investigator's lab has shown that these patients have fewer protective antimicrobial Staphylococcal species such as Staphylococcal epidermidis (S. epidermidis) that are known to produce antimicrobial peptides that play a role in protecting the skin from invading pathogens. In this study, the investigator will attempt to decrease S. aureus colonization and increase colonization of protective Staph species in AD patients. First the investigator will capture the bacteria on subjects' skin. Next the investigator will selectively grow the subject's antimicrobial Staphylococcal colonies and place them into a base moisturizer. The moisturizer plus bacteria will be applied to one of the subject's arms for one week. Some subjects will receive placebo, which is the moisturizer alone (without bacteria). The investigator will then swab the arms at specified time points during and after the one week application in order to determine whether the S. aureus abundance was affected by the application of the transplanted bacteria.
