| Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of heparan sulfate 1% cream and glycosaminoglycan-polysulfate gel in the relief of sum of score of subjective symptoms and objective signs of haematomas and/or subcutaneous haematic extravasations of traumatic origin.;Secondary Objective: To compare the efficacy of the two investigational medicinal products (IMPs) in the changes from baseline of individual subjective symptoms and objective signs of haematomas and subcutaneous haematic extravasations of traumatic origin; To compare the efficacy of the two IMPs in the rates of complete healing at the end of treatment; To compare the efficacy of the two IMPs in the changes from baseline of the size of the lesion; To compare the two treatment groups in terms of use of relief paracetamol; To assess the general and local safety of the two IMPs.;Primary end point(s): to compare the efficacy of heparan sulfate 1% cream and glycosaminoglycan-polysulfate gel in the relief of sum of score of subjective symptoms and objective signs of haematomas and/or subcutaneous haematic extravasations of traumatic origin. | — |
