Eczema/Dermatitis

Also called atopic eczema, this is a chronic, hereditary, condition often triggered by environmental factors. The skin itches intensely and is dry and inflamed, with episodes of redness, weeping, crusting, cracking, and scaling. Atopic dermatitis most often affects infants and young children, but it can continue into adulthood or even first occur later in life. The condition fluctuates, with exacerbations or flares. The disease is associated with other so-called atopic disorders, such as hay fever and asthma.

Novartis is seeking people to participate in a clinical trial(s) testing the safety and effectiveness of Novartis products. Novartis recommends that you consult your doctor before participating in a clinical trial.
