The possibility that o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) could modify the rate, or mechanism, of healing of skin injuries was investigated in guinea-pigs. Compared with untreated control lesions, up to 10 mg. CS applied to abrasions, full-thickness skin wounds, and standard burns did not influence the rate of healing.
