Detailed Description
This is an open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a Healing Ointment in skin improvement after dermatologic procedures such as Mohs surgery, skin biopsy, excision on the head/neck or body.
The study is designed to enroll approximately 20 subjects, in which 10 subjects undergo dermatologic procedure on the head/neck and 10 subjects on the body.
Eligible subjects apply the test product twice daily after the procedure, followed by efficacy and tolerability assessments, standard photography, and self-assessment questionnaire at each follow-up visit.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Objective tolerability assessment using clinical grading analog scale [Immediately post-procedure (on the same day of the procedure), day 7/14, and day 28 from baseline]
Summary of change in tolerability from baseline to day 28, at the surgical area after using the Healing Ointment daily. Lower scores reflect a better outcome. Assessment parameters include erythema, edema (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe), overall wound appearance (0 = excellent, 1 = good, 2 = fair, 3 = poor), and scabbing/crusting (0 = none, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = extensive, 4 = almost complete/complete).
- Subjective tolerability assessment using an analog scale [Immediately post-procedure (on the same day of the procedure), day 7/14, and day 28 from baseline]
Summary of change in tolerability from baseline to day 28, at the surgical area after using the Healing Ointment daily. Assessment parameters include burning, itching, and pain (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Subject satisfaction using a self-assessment questionnaire [Day 7/14 and day 28]
Subjects are asked about their satisfaction with the treatment product and overall improvement at the treated area. Scale consists of 5 questions at every follow-up visit and subjects select level of satisfaction for each question from/to strongly agree, agree, neither, disagree, and strongly disagree. Upon study completion, subjects also provide their perception on recommendation, purchase intent, preference, and testimonial.
