Summary

This trial aims to study the use of a natural, over-the-counter product to help people with atopic dermatitis, a skin condition that causes itching.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals over 12 years old who have had atopic dermatitis (eczema) for more than two years and are experiencing significant itching. Participants must not have used non-emollient therapies or corticosteroids in the past 28 days, and cannot be pregnant or nursing.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of a natural product, 3% kanuka oil, compared to a standard treatment, 1% hydrocortisone cream, in reducing itchiness associated with atopic dermatitis.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin irritation or allergic reactions from kanuka oil. Hydrocortisone cream can cause skin thinning, discoloration, or worsening of symptoms if overused.
