Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Absolute Change From Baseline in Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) Overall Disease Severity (ODS) Scores at Week 24
The PIH ODS Score is based on a 9-point scale: Grade 0 Normal; Grade 1 Present, but \<mild; Grade 2 Mild (slightly noticeable); Grade 3 Between mild and moderate; Grade 4 Moderate; Grade 5 Between moderate and marked; Grade 6 Marked (distinctive); Grade 7 Between marked and severe; Grade 8 Severe (very distinctive). A negative change indicates a reduction from in PIH disease severity score from baseline.
