|
A 81-year-old female patient was experiencing a second degree burn. The vesicobullous lesion and skin necrosis was accompanied by erythema with a size of 8×11 cm and severe pain. Three days earlier, the patient had bumped her forehead against the wall, her forehead was swelled and hurted. The patient spread ground indomethacin cream (Vigel cream ®) on her forehead constantly. She was treated with potadine soaked gauze every day. As soon as the erythema had worn out, she was treated by foam dressing using Episurge® (Erweis). Epithelialization of the injured area began from the 7th day since the burn. Complete epithelialization took 14th days, and the outpatient’s progress is currently being observed.
