SCORING SYSTEM:
Erythema and Eschar Formation
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation(inujuries in depth) 4

Oedema Formation
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
erythema score
Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: 24, 48, 72 hours
Score:
4
Max. score:
4
Reversibility:
not reversible
Remarks on result:
other: well defined erythema
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Adverse reactions prevented accurate evaluation of erythema and oedema at all treated skin sites at the 24, 48 and 72-hour observations. The treatment sites were assigned a grade 4 for erythema on the Draize scale due to injuries in depth.
