Evaluation of the skin lesions and the thickness of skin.

	Score of the skin lesions	Thickness of skin (mm)
Normal	0 ± 0**	0.35 ± 0.06**
Model	8.33 ± 0.52	1.07 ± 0.18
Vehicle	7.83 ± 0.41	1.06 ± 0.07
50% QP	5.50 ± 1.05**	0.95 ± 0.03*
75% QP	3.17 ± 0.75**	0.87 ± 0.08**
100% QP	0.50 ± 0.55**	0.44 ± 0.06**
MF	0.67 ± 0.52**	0.43 ± 0.01**

Values are presented as mean ± SEM. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01 versus model group. QP: Qingpeng ointment; MF: Mometasone Furoate cream. Skin lesions such as (1) erythema, (2) edema, and (3) scaling were scored as 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe). Thickness of skin was randomly measured with 3 different sites of the back. Total data was calculated for each mouse, and the average values were taken to be analyzed.
