5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wound is a chronic wound.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the chronic wound is selected from the group consisting of venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, arterial ulcers, burns, and peri-ulcers.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the skin defect is selected from the group consisting of eczema, psoriases, radiodermatitis, skin cancer, urticaria, livedoid vasculitis, severe dryness, Atrophie blanche, vestibulitis, blemishes, age spots, scars, bruises, birthmarks, tattoos, hyperpigmentation, atrophic dermatitis, severely creviced and chapped hands, and keloids.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the skin condition is an inflammatory skin condition.
9. The method of claim 2 , wherein the skin condition is selected from the group consisting of blemishes, age spots, scars, burns, bruises, birthmarks, tattoos, hyperpigmentation, atopic dermatitis, peri-ulcers, eczema, radiodermatitis, ulcers, urticaria, severe dryness, Atrophie blanche and vestibulitis.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the skin condition is a peri-ulcer.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the skin condition is Atrophie blanche.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the skin condition is hyperpigmentation.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the skin condition is vestibulitis.
14. A method for treating a skin condition, disorder or disease in a horse suffering from said skin condition, disorder or disease, the method comprising cutaneously administering a composition comprising one or more undifferentiated horse fetal skin cells integrated with a collagen matrix to form a three-dimensional cutaneous tissue allograft construct or integrated with a carrier suitable for topical administration, wherein the undifferentiated horse fetal skin cells are obtained from a single horse organ donation, and wherein said horse donor tissue is of 12-16 weeks gestation, to an affected area of the horse's skin, wherein the composition is formulated for cutaneous administration and does not result in scar formation upon said cutaneous administration.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the skin condition, disorder or disease is selected from the group consisting of wounds, skin defects and skin conditions.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the wound is an acute wound.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the acute wound is selected from the group consisting of minor cuts, burns, dry skin, skin tears, skin lacerations, surgical wounds, accidental trauma and hypertrophic scars.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the wound is a chronic wound.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the chronic wound is selected from the group consisting of venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, arterial ulcers, burns, and peri-ulcers.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the skin defect is selected from the group consisting of eczema, psoriases, radiodermatitis, skin cancer, urticaria, livedoid vasculitis, severe dryness, Atrophie blanche, vestibulitis, blemishes, age spots, scars, bruises, birthmarks, tattoos, hyperpigmentation, atrophic dermatitis, and keloids.
21. The method of claim 15 , wherein the skin condition is an inflammatory skin condition.
22. The method of claim 15 , wherein the skin condition is selected from the group consisting of blemishes, age spots, scars, burns, bruises, birthmarks, tattoos, hyperpigmentation, atopic dermatitis, peri-ulcers, eczema, radiodermatitis, ulcers, urticaria, severe dryness, Atrophie blanche and vestibulitis.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the skin condition is a peri-ulcer.
24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the skin condition is Atrophie blanche.
25. The method of claim 22 , wherein the skin condition is hyperpigmentation.
26. The method of claim 22 , wherein the skin condition is vestibulitis.
27. A method for treating a skin condition, disorder or disease in a human suffering from said skin condition, disorder or disease, the method comprising cutaneously administering a composition comprising one or more undifferentiated human fetal skin cells integrated with a horse collagen matrix to form a three-dimensional cutaneous tissue allograft construct or integrated with a carrier suitable for topical administration, wherein the undifferentiated human fetal skin cells are obtained from a single human organ donation, and wherein said human donor tissue is of 12-16 weeks gestation, to an affected area of the human's skin, wherein the composition is formulated for cutaneous administration and does not result in scar formation upon said cutaneous administration.
28. A method for treating a skin condition, disorder or disease in a horse suffering from said skin condition, disorder or disease, the method comprising cutaneously administering a composition comprising one or more undifferentiated horse fetal skin cells integrated with a horse collagen matrix to form a three-dimensional cutaneous tissue allograft construct or integrated with a carrier suitable for topical administration, wherein the undifferentiated horse fetal skin cells are obtained from a single horse organ donation, and wherein said horse donor tissue is of 12-16 weeks gestation, to an affected area of the horse's skin, wherein the composition is formulated for cutaneous administration and does not result in scar formation upon said cutaneous administration.
