On day 7, the granulation tissue of control group was significantly (P<0.05) more than white tea 5% ointment (Eucerin)-treated group (❶).
On day 15, the granulation tissue of vehicle (gel)-treated group was significantly (P<0.05) more than control group (❷).
On day 7, the re-epithelialization of control group was significantly (P<0.05) more than white tea 5% ointment (Eucerin)-treated group (❸).
On day 7, the re-epithelialization of vehicle (gel)-treated-group was significantly (P<0.05) more than white tea 5% gel-treated group (❹).
On days 4 and 15, the neovascularization of white tea 5% ointment (Eucerin)-treated group was significantly (P<0.05) more than control group (❺, ❻).
On day 7, the inflammation of control group was significantly (P<0.05) less than vehicle (Eucerin)-treated group, white tea 5% ointment (Eucerin)-treated group and white tea 5% gel-treated group (❼).
