Summary
This study tests whether leaving the white, creamy coating (vernix caseosa) on a newborn's skin after birth can prevent eczema (atopic dermatitis) in the first year of life. About 1,383 babies will be randomly assigned to either keep the vernix or have it removed as usual. Researchers will track how many develop eczema and measure skin health and microbiome differences.
