Eczema — also known as atopic dermatitis — is a condition that makes the skin red and itchy. There is no cure for eczema, but researchers are focused more than ever on trying to find ways to treat it.
Total Skin & Beauty Dermatology Center needs volunteers 12 and older in the Birmingham area who have had moderate to severe eczema for at least one year to evaluate a potential treatment using an autoinjector at home.
You or your child may qualify if eczema affects at least 10% of the body. To estimate how much of the body has eczema, 1% of the body is approximately the size of the hand, excluding the thumb. So, if you think there are 10 or more ‘hand prints’ of eczema, you or your child may qualify.
