Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Allergy to statins or any excipients in creams; 2. There are open wounds or active infections in the target area; 3. Within 4 weeks before the baseline visit (V0), any topical active drugs (including but not limited to retinoids, 5-fluorouracil, vitamin D derivatives, immunomodulators, etc.) were used in the target area; 4. Within 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit (V0), any systemic treatment for LP (such as oral tretinoin, immunosuppressants) or any form of local destructive treatment (such as cryotherapy, laser therapy, photodynamic therapy) was received; 5. Within 12 weeks prior to the baseline visit (V0), any systemic immunomodulators or biologics were used for other diseases; 6. Pregnant or lactating women; 7. Those with severe systemic diseases or those deemed unsuitable for participation by the researchers, including but not limited to: severe liver or kidney insufficiency (defined as ALT/AST > 2 times the upper limit of the normal value, or creatinine clearance rate < 60 mL/min); 8. The researcher determines that the subject has any circumstances that may interfere with the research evaluation, increase the subject's risk or affect their compliance (such as high-intensity sun exposure during the trial, etc.).
