ABSTRACT
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 8x11 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(R)) 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(R) (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.
