α–Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) localized to blood vessels, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands in human burn wounds and hypertrophic scars. α-MSH immunostaining was detected in blood vessels in a hypertrophic scar 10 months postinjury (A), hair follicles in a hypertrophic scar 2 years postinjury (B), and sebaceous glands in an early burn wound (<1 month postinjury) (C).
