In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This project aims to establish whether an adapted extraction device is tolerable and will be able to measure chemical signals in baby's ISF. Insight into the chemical profiles found in the skin interstitial fluid (ISF) of healthy and diseased babies will identify signals that can be used to investigate the causes of eczema and propose new preventative strategies and effective treatments. Specifically, it aims to: 1. Demonstrate that the developed ISF device can be used to extract biomarkers from the skin of babies non-invasively and is tolerable (not causing significant discomfort, bruising, or blister formation). 2. Compare the profile of chemical markers present in the ISF of healthy babies with babies that have developed eczema. 3. Compare the biomarker levels extracted from babies with eczema in lesional and non-lesional skin using the developed ISF device. 4. Compare the microbiom
