Hyperkeratinisation occured after the second application and developed after the second application and developed into necrosis. The test was terminated early. One animal died after the third application. Tissues were submitted for histological examination. The skin at the the application site showed necrosis of the epidermis and a marked fibroblastic reaction of the dermis.
