Description:

The main objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the test medical device Pixie® skin tag) in the treatment of skin tags versus a comparator product (Wortie® skin tag remover). Non-inferiority of the test product versus competitor on skin tag evaluated by clinical evaluation. The secondary objectives of the study were to evaluate: - the number of treatments needed for the complete disappearance of skin tag; - the efficacy of devices by subjects' self-assessment; - the cutaneous tolerability (safety). The last objective of the study was to illustrate the expected visual effects.
