Photo-documentation of wound epithelialization of crusted lesions after removal of the crusts. (Panel a) Lesion status prior to the start of the intradermal SSG treatment start at day 0; (Panel b) Lesion status after 12 intradermal SSG injections on day 51; (Panel c) Lesion status after gentle sloughing off with Prontosan® detergent on day 90. Crusts, that were close to slough off, were removed after 30 min incubation with aseptic 0.1% Prontosan® containing the detergent undecylenamidopropyl betaine. Afterwards, the wound was photo-documented including the patient's identification number and a linear scale to analyse the wound size.
