April 12
Patient came into the office on 12th. See first four photos from April 12.
9 year old was rough-housing with friends in the kitchen, got splattered with hot oil from a pan on the oven. This resulted in a 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his buttocks and a 2nd degree burn on his back. The 3rd degree burn covered 10% of his buttocks. He was treated at a major burn center using standard burn care. The boy was sent home to have his parents change his dressing on a daily basis. Four days of these daily wound changes severely traumatized the patient and the wound (as you can see in the first photograph of the buttocks). Prior to placing the Miracle Dressing, the torn skin was reapproximated.

UPDATE: The Miracle Dressing was falling off. Only 22 days following the application of Miracle Dressing, the burns are healed and have left no scars. See final 4 photos from May 4th.
