Group I: Delgocitinib - DelgocitinibExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be blinded and randomised to delgocitinib cream treatment for the first 12 weeks, followed by an open label treatment with delgocitinib cream treatment for another 12 weeks.
Group II: No treatmentActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will not receive any treatment. They will only provide a molecular signature of healthy skin to act as a control.
Group III: Placebo - DelgocitinibPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants will be blinded and randomised to placebo cream treatment for the first 12 weeks, followed by an open label treatment with delgocitinib cream treatment for another 12 weeks.
