Trial efficacy primary endpoints will be: - the percentage of healed patients recorded within the 5th day of therapy; Secondary end points: 1. Evaluation of clinical efficacy by: Time to healing 2.Evaluation of clinical symptomatology by: Staging of lesions (vesicular, pustular, ulcerative, crusted, healed); Itching (absent, mild, moderate, severe) Total lesion area at day 3-4 and/or 5-10 3. Evaluation of local tolerability from baseline.
