3. WOCBP or females who have the last menstrual period within 12 months must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at Screening (Visit 1).
4. Subjects who have voluntarily decided to take part in the study and able to comply with the study protocol
5. Subjects who have no tattoo, acne, dermatitis, pigmentation or lesion on the administration site and who have no damage in the skin, so that they can receive the IP and allergy test
