Summary:

      This is a double-blind, pilot study with 20 subjects to determine the tolerability and
      efficacy of topical AFX 5931 in the treatment of mild to moderate hand dermatitis. Subjects
      are screened up to 30 days before the baseline visit. Subjects who meet the eligibility
      criteria may qualify for the study. Subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive
      either the active or vehicle medication. 15 subjects will receive the active, therapeutic
      product and 5 subjects will receive the inactive, vehicle product.

          4. Subject has active cutaneous bacterial or viral infection in any treatment area
             (clinically infected hand dermatitis) at Visit 2/Baseline.

          9. Subject is known to be noncompliant or is unlikely to comply with the requirements of
             the study protocol (e.g., due to alcoholism, drug dependency, mental incapacity) in
