Popis: The studies of Monash and Blank (1) demonstrated that, if the skin barrier is removed, water will evaporate from the skin surface at approximately the same rate as from a free water surface. Matoltsy et al. (2) confirmed the finding that water loss of the barrier becomes almost normal in only two or three days after the barrier is re-formed. Total regeneration however requires about two weeks. Matoltsy et al. (2) stated that soon after removal of the stratum corneum a “temporary barrier” with parakeratotic cells is formed, causing water loss to gradually decrease. The “temporary barrier” persists until the regenerating epidermis becomes capable of forming normally keratinized horn cells, the so-called “final barrier.
