Gross appearance of hairless rat skin following treatment for 15 days with DMSO, 10% curcumin, 3% ginger extract or the combination of curcumin and ginger extract. DMSO-treated skin has a slightly-mottled appearance (similar to what was seen in control skin). Skin from curcumin-treated rats has a similar appearance but is stained a reddish-yellow. Skin treated with ginger extract has a much more pinkish hue than DMSO-treated skin and there is virtually no mottling. Skin treated with the combination of curcumin and ginger extract has features seen in skin treated with either agent alone. That is, it has lost its mottled appearance but still demonstrates staining from the curcumin.
