NCT ID NCT07503197
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a cream with 2% cholesterol can help repair the skin barrier and reduce symptoms in children aged 7-17 with mild to moderate eczema. Thirty participants will apply either the cholesterol cream or a placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure moisture loss, skin hydration, and eczema severity to see if the cream makes a difference.
