  1. Statistical analysis of the scoring results showed that there were significant differences in the thickness of lesions and the symmetry of the face after the treatment of bleomycin and triamcinolone acetonide injection. There was no significant difference in the color of lesion erythema. The statistical analysis of the lesion thickness data obtained by B-scan ultrasonography examination before and after treatment showed that P < 0.05; there was a significant difference in the thickness of the lesion before and after treatment
