      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Using the randomization method, patients are divided into three groups. A sealed envelope site is used to divide patients, and randomization is performed in blocks, and each block consists of 6 patients and includes 2 groups A, 2 groups B, and 2 groups C. In order to eliminate the effect of the interpretation of the researcher and the performing physician, in addition to observing blinding, the technique of concealing the allocation of numbers and letters was used, and the names of the groups were hidden, Blinding description: The physician evaluating the results will be unaware of the treatment method used. At the beginning of treatment and one month after the last session, photographs of the lesions will be taken using a Xiaomi Redmi note11 pro mobile phone at a distance of 30 cm.</study_design>
