Patients are evaluated based on the group they are assigned too:
1. Herpes Zoster (HZ) Group: individuals presenting with untreated herpes zoster. These participants will have 6 visits:
* Day 1 = 1st day presenting to clinic with acute zoster
* 7 days post zoster
* 1 month after Day 1
* 3 months after Day 1
* 6 months after Day 1
* 12 months after Day 1
2. Control Group: individuals without herpes zoster o Day 1 (only 1 visit will be completed)
This study does not have a study medication/device. Standard of care for all patients will be followed.

This is a single-center, randomized, blinded, controlled trial assessing the effects on the skin microbiome in patients with eczema of amending a standard-of-care (SOC), over-the-counter (OTC) topical colloidal oatmeal formulation with a modified plant oil ("Activated Oil", AO)

Patients at least 18 years of age will be enrolled in the study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of Picato gel in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum.
