Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Jalosome® Soothing gel
The medical device will be applied by the patient himself, after appropriate training carried out by the nurse, twice a day, in the quantity necessary to cover the lesion (0.2g of gel /16 cm2 of skin (one spray), repeated as many times as necessary to cover the entire lesion). The treatment will last 8 weeks. The medical device will be delivered in the quantity strictly necessary to carry out the therapies between visits, in order to monitor its use. Patients will be seen weekly by the nurse, in order to ensure the best continuity of care and promote adherence to the study. Patients will be asked to keep a weekly diary, in which they will report their level of pain, analgesic therapy and medication. Nurses will be available for telephone counselling, if necessary.
