  1. Continuous data are presented as median (range), while categorial data are presented in absolute numbers of participants. Skin phototype is based on the Fitzpatrick scale, while the stratum corneum thickness on thenar is measured using optical coherence tomography. Note that participants can be on multiple treatments.
