Effects of Pressure Garments on Hypertrophic Hand Scar in Burn Children
Pakistan26 participantsStarted 2023-11-28
Plain-language summary
Burns are type of injury that affect the skin or other tissues and are typically caused by acute trauma, including thermal sources, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Thermal burns are frequently caused by exposure to high temperature solids or liquids, as well as flames. The epidermis is the only layer of skin affected by superficial burns (sometimes known as "first degree" burns). Blistering is a common symptom of partial thickness (second degree) burns, which damage both the epidermis and dermis.
