Evaluation of lesion areas by using cross-polarisation photography
Since the measurement of the lesion areas was relative, two measurements were performed at different times. Intraclass correlation(ICC=0.996-0.988) indicates excellent high reliability (0.9 range to 1). The average values of the lesion areas(mmComparison of lesion areasThe paired two-sample t-test was used. The same letters indicate that there is no statistically significant difference (In the treatment group, the lesion areas measured immediately after treatment, and 1, 3, and 6 months later were significantly smaller than the initial values (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the lesion areas immediately after treatment and 1, 3, and 6 months later (p > 0.05). After the Icon® application, there was a decrease in the lesion area, which remained stable for 6 months.
