Atopic Dermatitis, more commonly known as Eczema, creates a seemingly endless “itch cycle” that is difficult to overcome. In fact, trying to relieve the itch by scratching the skin only leads to more itching. Many parents have tried to help their children get control of their Eczema with countless trips to dermatologists and inadequate responses to creams and medications.
Simply put, Eczema can make your child feel uncomfortable inside and out.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for Eczema, but dermatology specialists are focused more than ever on trying to find ways to treat it. Michigan Center for Skin Care Research in Clinton Township is seeking children (and teens) over the age of 6 with Eczema to evaluate an investigational medication hoped to alleviate the “itch cycle” associated with the condition. Adults may be eligible too.
