A Double-Blind Pilot Study To Assess The Feasibility of a Larger Study to Assess The Efficacy of A Novel Gel Wash Cleanser Formulated With Sodium Hypochlorite To Reduce Skin Fauna In Patients With Chronic Hand Dermatitis/Atopic Dermatitis.
The primary objective of this protocol is to acquire pilot data for a larger study to test
the following hypothesis: Treatment of the hands of patients with chronic hand
dermatitis/atopic dermatitis with CLn BodyWash, a novel gel wash cleanser currently marketed
as a cosmetic product containing a dilute concentration of less than 0.01% sodium
hypochlorite and less than 0.005% concentration as it is lathered, will result in a
statistically significant reduction in the number of skin fauna present on the hands of
these patients compared to treatment of such patients with traditional wash used clinically
such as Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser.

Patients with Hand Eczema will be asked to wash with either a CLn BodyWash or Cetaphil Daily
Facial Cleanser. Patients and study staff will be blinded. Hand swabs will be done prior
to the wash and after 20 minutes. The average time spent in the study for each patient
should be less than 2 hours unless an Adverse Event occurs.
