Objective: To characterize the functional properties of the stratum corneum (SC) of various
scars. Design: A prospective cohort study. Setting: University hospital medical center.
Patients: Thirty-two consecutive patients surgically treated for various skin diseases and 26
consecutive patients with hypertrophic scars or keloids. Main Outcome Measures:
Noninvasive bioengineering measurements of functional properties of the SC, such as
transepidermal water loss (TEWL), high-frequency conductance, and SC turnover time …
