18Project overview

Concept

The idea

An Innovatorius research record combining a topical-formulation prototype with a 40-day photographic sequence documenting visible changes in one person’s skin.

  • Topical-formulation prototype
  • Visible changes documented over time
  • Photographic sequence over 40 days
  • Option for independent scientific or medical review

The interactive archive covers the full sequence: days 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 40. Any two stages can be compared.

Further work

The project is open to scientific collaboration and discussion of further development with specialist partners.

How the project could develop

Prototype, observations and further research.

01

What the project addresses

Explore the potential of the topical formulation and follow visible changes in the skin lesion throughout the observation period.

02

Our approach

Bring together the formulation prototype, original photographs and a chronological account of visible changes for specialist analysis.

03

Research potential

The project is open to research collaboration, independent assessment of the formulation and observations, and discussion of further development with specialist partners.

DOCUMENTED PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD

40 days of observation: changes in the skin lesion

The photographic timeline of this Innovatorius research project shows changes in the external appearance of a skin lesion during use of the developed formulation. According to the project author, the observation concerns a cancerous skin lesion.

Over the documented period, the visible changes became noticeably less pronounced: the initial lesion, with surrounding redness and an altered central surface, gave way to a substantially less conspicuous residual area. The sequence includes an interim increase in redness followed by an improvement in external appearance.

Additional view: compare any two photographs
Day 1 — Initial appearance
Day 1 — Initial appearanceA clearly visible lesion with a central crust and noticeable redness of the surrounding skin.
Day 5 — Early observation
Day 5 — Early observationThe central crust and redness remain. The photograph with a ruler records the appearance and boundaries of the lesion at this stage.
Day 10 — Surface changes
Day 10 — Surface changesThe central surface appears lighter; the prominent dark crust is no longer discernible. A pinkish rim remains around the area.
Day 15 — Interim increase in redness
Day 15 — Interim increase in rednessRedness becomes more noticeable again. The central area continues to change.
Day 20 — Less pronounced redness
Day 20 — Less pronounced rednessCompared with the preceding stage, the surrounding redness appears less pronounced. A small altered area remains in the centre.
Day 25 — Less conspicuous external changes
Day 25 — Less conspicuous external changesThe central surface appears light, with a pinkish periphery. The crust characteristic of the first images is no longer discernible.
Day 40 — End of the documented period
Day 40 — End of the documented periodThe lesion stands out substantially less against the surrounding skin. A small light area remains; the observer reports a small residual bump.

What the record can support

Archive analysis and project development.

Further work can include formulation analysis, independent assessment of the observations and planning additional studies with relevant specialists.

  1. 01
    Source material & provenanceOriginal files, dates and context are part of the project record.
  2. 02
    Visible changesCompare the lesion at each stage: its surface, redness and visible skin contours.
  3. 03
    Independent reviewA specialist can examine the photographic sequence alongside medical records and propose a programme of further research.
  4. 04
    Further researchIf useful, a formal study could be considered around a defined research question.
