NCT ID NCT07583121

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early study will test whether a daily omega-3 cream and serum can change the balance of bacteria on eczema-affected skin. Ten adults with eczema will apply the treatment for 14 days, and researchers will measure four types of bacteria before and after. The study is exploratory, meaning it's mainly checking if the idea is worth studying further, not proving it works as a treatment.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to manage eczema by balancing skin bacteria.
