•men and women aged 18 years or older;
•manifest atopic dermatitis diagnosed according to Hanifin and Rajka, or seborrheic eczema or stasis dermatitis;
•two comparable lesional areas of at least 2 cm2, with the clinical condition of atopic eczema or or seborrheic eczema or stasis dermatitis rated mild;
•the lesions should be located contralaterally for patients with atopic eczema and stasis dermatitis;
•an erythema score = 1 in both lesional areas;
•the physical examination of the skin must be without disease findings unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be irrelevant to the outcome of the clinical trial;
•female patients of childbearing potential must either be surgically sterile (hysterectomy or tubal ligation) or agree to use a reliable method of contraception with a failure rate of less than 1 % per year when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intra uterine devices [IUDs], sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner;
•written informed consent obtained.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes

Patients are to be excluded from the trial, when one or more of the following conditions are met:
•acne, suntan, eczema other than atopic eczema, seborrheic eczema or stasis dermatitis hyper- or hypopigmentation or tattoos in the treatment areas;

•treatment with systemic or locally acting medications which might counter or influence the trial aim within four weeks before the baseline visit and during the trial, e.g. antihistamines, medication that influences liver function, or glucocorticosteroids (exception: asthma may be found in patients with atopic dermatitis, therefore inhalation with corticosteroids in patients with asthma accompanying atopic dermatitis will be allowed);

- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Clinical assessment of erythema using a five-point scale ;Secondary Objective: Clinical assessment of edema/papulation, oozing/crusting, excoriations, scaling and lichenification using a five-point scale;Primary end point(s): AUC of baseline corrected erythema scores;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: AUC is determined over the whole experimental phase.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): The calculated AUC, the absolute erythema scores and their changes from baseline will be summarized by treatment and time point. Clinical assessment of edema/papulation, oozing/crusting, excoriations, scaling and lichenification will be evaluated descriptively.
