Summary

This study tests whether clearing Staphylococcus aureus bacteria from the skin can reduce eczema severity in people with atopic dermatitis. Researchers will enroll 100 participants aged 6 and older with moderate-to-severe disease. The goal is to see if decolonization improves skin symptoms and changes how skin cells behave.
