TLDR Tacalcitol cream effectively and safely treated a rare skin condition called Lichen Spinulosus in two cases.
In the document from 2010, researchers reported on two cases of Lichen Spinulosus (LS), a rare skin condition characterized by spiny papules, which occurred in the unusual location of the submental area (under the chin). These cases were successfully and safely treated with topical tacalcitol cream, a synthetic vitamin D3 analogue. The document does not provide the number of participants beyond the two cases mentioned, nor does it detail the duration of the treatment or the follow-up period. However, the conclusion emphasizes the effectiveness and safety of tacalcitol cream for LS in these instances.
