A, Superficial hematoxylin-eosin staining of untreated scar. B, Arrow points to clear sweat collection tube still coiled in the sweat collector (placed on a model, not the patient). C, Untreated high-power hematoxylin-eosin staining with eccrine glands in deep dermis; arrow points to slightly dilated duct. D, Elastin stain, low power with dashed line demarcating approximate depth of scarring. Thicker darker staining elastic fibers below the line and more fragmented paler staining elastic fibers above the line.
