Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  1. Ability to understand, agree to, and sign the study Informed Consent. If the
             patient is unable to provide consent for him/herself, the patient's legally authorized
             representative may provide written consent.

          -  2. A signed Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
             authorization form which permits the use and disclosure of subject's individually
             identifiable health information.

          -  3. Male or Female Subjects of any race 12 - 65 years of age.

          -  4. Physician diagnosed clinically stable AD according to the criteria of Hanifin and
             Rajka with symmetrical bilateral target lesions (Hanifin and Rajka 1980). Lesion on
             each arm or leg must have an Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI) ≥6. The 2 sites
             need to be comparable anatomically symmetrical sites. It will be in the opinion of the
             Investigator based on subject's medical history whether the lesions are clinically
             stable.

          -  5. Female patients of child-bearing potential must use at least one method of birth
             control that results in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used
             consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral
             contraceptives, some intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomized
             partner for the duration of study participation.

          -  6. Technical ability and willingness to apply test articles during telemedicine visits
             with the study staff and unsupervised on weekends.

          -  7. Willingness to discontinue use of systemic AD treatments and topical treatments to

                  the areas during showering is acceptable.

               2. No rubbing the test sites with a washcloth, towel, luffas. Pat dry after

                  dry test site areas with towel if needed.

               7. Any activity that in the opinion of the investigator might alter the quality of
                  the samples collected or risk removal of the test article.

          -  9. Willingness to undergo the following washout periods:
