Summary
This study tests whether a probiotic ointment (containing live, friendly bacteria) can improve eczema in children aged 6 months to 15 years. The ointment is compared to a basic lotion over 28 days. Researchers measure skin redness, itching, and skin barrier function to see if the probiotic cream offers extra relief.
