Summary

The study will primarily focus on evaluating the benefits of using a lyocell/chitosan/ceramide fabric as a treatment for young children with mild or moderate eczema. More specifically, the study will focus on the upper limb area in these patients and will examine whether wearing a sleeve made from a lyocell/chitosan/ceramide fabric can improve eczema symptoms compared with wearing a cotton sleeve, no sleeve, or the lyocell / chitosan combination. Patients will be evaluated at 3 intervals over a 3-week period using the following four variables: an eczema severity index, amount of itching, bacteria levels in the affected areas of skin, and amount of water loss in the affected areas.
