Millions of children struggle with eczema (atopic dermatitis) and the constant battle against skin irritation. Like many skin conditions, eczema can take a toll on your child’s self-esteem, causing them to feel embarrassed or self-conscious. And although there are treatment options available, they do not work for everyone.
Right now, dermatologists in San Antonio are conducting a new research study that may be able to help. The study is testing an investigational topical cream applied twice daily for children with moderate to severe eczema.
If your child is between the ages of 2 – 11 and has eczema, he/she may qualify to participate.
If you join, your child will receive all study-related care and medication at no cost from a local doctor (insurance is not required). You may also be reimbursed for your time and travel to attend periodic visits at your study doctor’s office to evaluate your child’s progress.
