The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Uracil Plaster lower the number of days participants need to reduce the HFS symptoms? What medical problems do participants have when using the Uracil plaster MD? Researchers will compare the Uracil plaster to a standard lenitive cream to see if Uracil Plaster works better to treat mild HFS.
