Timepoint: At the beginning of study and a month after the start of the study. Method of measurement: To measure the area of the affected areas, the largest lesion diameters are measured by a caliper and their product is considered as the area of the target area. If the patient has similar lesions in several areas, the area of all these areas will be added together and this amount will be reported.
