Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy of treatment in acute cutaneous rash based on symptoms score [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    The differences in the intensity of signs and symptoms of acute cutaneous rash between the beginning and end of the study will be used as the primary endpoint of clinical efficacy

    .



Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety will be evaluated by the adverse events occurrences [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Adverse events will be collected and followed in order to evaluate safety and tolerability
