The goal is this study is to investigate the effects of dilute bleach on the skin of subjects with atopic dermatitis and those with healthy skin. The second goal is to evaluate the effects of different moisturizers on the skin barrier of subjects with and without atopic dermatitis. The investigators hypothesize that the bleach bath will increase the skin pH, decrease the skin hydration, and increase skin water loss in all study subjects. Secondly, the investigators hypothesize that moisturizers with the lowest pH and the highest water to oil ratio will result in improved skin barrier function. Furthermore, the investigators believe there will be a greater improvement in patients with atopic dermatitis.
The study has two main parts. Subjects in both groups will have one forearm in a dilute bleach bath and the other arm in a water bath for 10 minutes. The change in skin will be measured using different painless devices. The second part of the study involves application of 4 various moisturizers. The change in skin will be measured over a period of time using the non-invasive devices.

| Bleach Bath and Moisturizers | Other | All subjects will have one forearm in a bleach bath and the other forearm in a water bath for 10 minutes. Following the bath, skin barrier function will be evaluated. Secondly, moisturizers will be applied to the arms and the skin barrier will be evaluated overtime. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in transepidermal water loss post-bath immersion | Subjects will immerse one randomized arm in a bleach bath and the other arm in a water bath for 10 minutes. The skin barrier function will be evaluated for change in transepidermal water loss after 10 minutes of bath immersion. | 10 minutes post-bath immersion |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in transepidermal water loss after moisturizer application | Each subject will have 4 various moisturizers placed on each arm. The skin barrier function will be measured for change in transepidermal water loss to 60 minutes post-application.. | up to 60 minutes post-moisturizer application |
| Change in skin hydration after moisturizer application |
