Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Use of any of the following medications or therapies within 2 weeks prior to study initiation: topical corticosteroids, keratolytics (e.g., 6% salicylic acid, 70% propylene glycol, 30% urea), retinoids, vitamin D ointments (calcipotriol), tacrolimus, compound lactic acid cream, or gentamicin cream. If any of the above applies, a washout period of at least 2 weeks will be mandatory prior to study initiation.

If any of the above applies, a washout period of at least 4 weeks will be mandatory prior to study initiation; 3. Use of benvitimod cream within 4 weeks prior to study initiation; if applicable, a washout period of at least 4 weeks will be required prior to study initiation; 4. Concurrent hand or foot fungal infection prior to enrollment; after the infection has resolved (complete resolution of clinical symptoms caused by fungal infection, such as papulovesicles, maceration and erosion, scaling, etc.; disappearance of pruritus; and negative fungal microscopy results), topical antifungal agents must be discontinued for at least 2 weeks and oral antifungal agents for at least 4 weeks prior to study initiation; 5. Known history of allergy or suspected hypersensitivity reaction to benvitimod cream, or contraindications to any component of benvitimod cream or drugs of a similar nature; 6.
