Study of Crisaborole Ointment 2% in Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to document the timing of improvement in atopic dermatitis symptoms and severity following the application of crisaborole ointment 2% in patients 2 years or older with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Crisaborole ointment 2% will be applied topically twice daily for four weeks and progress will be assessed by photography and patient-reports.
