Summary
Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a chronic skin condition affecting many children. Crisaborole is a non-steroid topical medication which is FDA approved for children aged 2 and older for eczema. This research study seeks to investigate whether crisaborole reduces topical steroid use in children with atopic dermatitis.
