| pubmed-article:701592 | pubmed:abstractText | Clinical and microscopic changes in the healing of dermal wounds in the skin of piglets that were treated with a 20% benzoyl peroxide lotion were compared with untreated wounds in the same animal. The wounds treated with benzoyl peroxide showed more rapid healing clinically, and a very pronounced foreign-body giant-cell infiltrate and very vascular granulation tissue microscopically. It may be that benzoyl peroxide promotes wound healing by attracting macrophages and histiocytes into the wound. | lld:pubmed |
