Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Reduction in mean symptom scores for erythema, induration, pruritus, and scaling on Day 4. [Day 4]
- Reduction in mean symptom scores for erythema, induration, pruritus, and scaling on Day 8. [Day 8]
- Clinical evaluation of the change in disease status which would be defined as improvement by Day 4 relative to their severity at entry in treated areas. [Day 4]
- Clinical evaluation of the change in disease status which would be defined as improvement by Day 8 relative to their severity at entry in treated areas. [Day 8]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Reduction in mean symptom scores for erythema, induration, pruritus, and scaling on Day 15. [Day 15]
- Reduction in mean symptom scores for erythema, induration, pruritus, and scaling on Day 22. [Day 22]
- Reduction in mean symptom scores for erythema, induration, pruritus, and scaling on Day 29. [Day 29]
- Clinical evaluation of the change in treated areas relative to their severity at entry would also be evaluated on Day 15. [Day 15]
- Clinical evaluation of the change in treated areas relative to their severity at entry would also be evaluated on Day 22. [Day 22]
- Clinical evaluation of the change in treated areas relative to their severity at entry would also be evaluated on Day 29. [Day 29]
