Histopathologic findings demonstrated ulcers and dermal granulation tissue with linearly arranged eosinophils, mast cells, neutrophils, and plasma cells between dense, homogeneous collagen bundles (sclerosing dermatitis). A biopsy of the granulation tissue in the left ear was sent for histopathology and microbiology. When used on wounds, XCell dressings provide pain relief, improve granulation tissue and epithelization, protect the periwound from maceration, and continuously balance wound moisture by simultaneously hydrating dry surfaces and absorbing excess fluid from wet surfaces. |
