Brief Summary: Atopic Dermatitis AD also known as eczema is a skin disease that causes the skin to be hot dry and scaly and have severe itching There are different kinds of eczema Eczema herpeticum EH is a type of eczema that spreads due to an underlying herpes virus infection The purpose of this research study is to identify the risk factors that may cause EH
Detailed Description: AD is characterized by chronic skin inflammation and infections It is hypothesized that AD is caused by irritants in the environment and that symptoms of EH become worse with stress and changes in hormone levels This study will examine skin cells collected from study participants to determine the risk factors for EH that are present in people with AD who develop EH

This study will examine dendritic cells DC from the skin and blood of study participants to determine the differences between DCs of study participants This study will recruit four types of participants

Group 1 will include participants with AD EH and recurrent herpes simplex virus HSV
Group 2 will include participants with AD and recurring HSV infections but without EH
Group 3 will include participants with AD but without EH or HSV infection
Group 4 will include participants in good general health without AD EH or HSV infection

At the single study visit skin and blood collection will occur
