Summary

This study compares two steroid-free ointments—crisaborole and tacrolimus—for treating mild-to-moderate eczema in 148 Pakistani patients aged 2 and older. Researchers will measure skin improvement and side effects over 8 weeks to see which works better and is safer. The goal is to provide local evidence for better eczema care.
