Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Biopsies taken from individuals with infections that are not allowed to enter the cell therapy core will make it such that these individuals cannot participate. * Specifically we will exclude those with autoimmune diseases affecting the skin such as lupus. * Having current skin diseases (i.e. extreme and active eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus) that the investigator feels is not safe for study participation * A diagnosis of uncontrolled diabetes * Active smoker during the study * We will also exclude those who are on chronic immunosuppressive therapies such as oral steroids, but also those on chronic topical steroids in the area of investigation. * Known bovine or meat sensitivity or severe allergies manifested by anaphylaxis to any product * Known bleeding disorder
