The animals were then randomly divided into the control, sham, and experimental groups. Skin wounds were bandaged daily using sterile gauze dipped in normal saline, carboxymethylcellulose, and 0.5% humic acid for 21 days. The wound-healing rate was evaluated grossly and histologically at various time intervals post-injury.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Wound-healing percentage was significantly higher in the gel treatment group at all time points (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The mean number of inflammatory cells was significantly lower in the humic acid gel group than in the other groups (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001).
