* Use of systemic immunosuppressive therapy, systemic corticosteroids, or JAK inhibitors within 8 weeks prior to screening (time windows may vary by drug/class).
* Use of topical calcineurin inhibitors or topical corticosteroids on target lesions within 2 weeks prior to baseline.
* Prior treatment with afamelanotide or melanotan (including Melanotan II) within 6 months prior to baseline.
* History of melanoma, dysplastic nevus syndrome, or other high-risk skin cancer history requiring close surveillance, as judged by the investigator.
* Clinically significant uncontrolled hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, increases risk with melanocortin agonist exposure.
* Pregnant or breastfeeding.
* Known hypersensitivity to study product components.
* Participation in another interventional clinical trial within 30 days prior to screening.
