1. Subject has spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating AD

2. Subject has clinically infected AD

3. Subject has any signs or symptoms associated with topical AD therapy (e.g., history of anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity reactions, skin atrophy, striae, pigmentary changes) which, in the investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of the AD being treated or which exposes the subject to an unacceptable risk by study participation

4. Subject has used any systemic immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., etanercept, alefacept, infliximab) within 16 weeks prior to Visit 1

5. Subject has used any phototherapy (e.g., ultraviolet A, ultraviolet B) which, in the investigator's opinion, might affect AD within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1

6. Subject has used any systemic therapy (e.g., systemic corticosteroids [intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids are allowed]), prednisone cyclosporine, immunosuppressants/immunomodulators, Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors, methotrexate, cytostatics) within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 which, in the investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of the AD being treated or which exposes the subject to an unacceptable risk by study participation

7. Subject has used any systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to Visit 1

8. Subject has used any topical AD therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, topical H1 and H2 antihistamines, topical antimicrobials, and other medicated topical agents) on the planned treatment area(s) within one week prior to Visit 1

11. Subject has a history of sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the study medications

12. Subject has any known concomitant dermatologic or medical condition which, in the investigator's opinion, might impair evaluation of the bilateral treatment and/or target evaluation areas of AD being treated or which exposes the subject to an unacceptable risk by study participation (e.g., psoriasis, lichen planus, lichen simplex chronicus,…)

13. Subject has participated in an investigational drug trial in which administration of an investigational study medication occurred within 30 days prior to Visit 1.
