Placebo Comparator: Placebo (Ointment without Hypericin)

Placebo ointment will be applied to lesions and treated with visible light 24±6 hours later starting at 5 J/cm^2. Drug application/light session will be done twice a week (at least 2 calendar days apart) for 18 weeks.

Interventions

Drug: - Hypericin
