53 Y Female was exposed to boiled water which fall on her abdomen. She left the burn untreated and scab formation occurred. TBSA expected 1-4% , probably superficial partial thickness burn. How would you manage this burn? Peel the scab and create a moist wound environment? Or what procedures would you follow now after the scab has formed?
Relevant answer
Answer
You would need to determine the depth of the burn and predict healing potential: whether it will heal spontaneously or would need excision and grafting. If grossly infected the wound needs to be debrided early. If not the wound could be dressed with silver sulfadiazine for a few more days to see if the "scab" separates off which would allow you to reassess better.
If you still would have a layer of ?eschar after a week the burn wound is most likely deep and would need excision and grafting.
Posting a picture would help a lot.

What is the best treatment option for facial moles?
Cosmetics, Plastic surgery, Dermatology, Aesthetics
Relevant answer
Answer
If they are superficial clearly benign (freckles etc) and in younger patients, I shave them in an intradermal plane.- and let the wound epithelialize from the hair follicles. There is a 20 % chnce of recurrence, however, but young people bear the same chance of a hypertrophic or hyperpigmented scar !
Ellman-radio-shaving will do the same.  but if you use magnifying glasses, you can see in surgery possible melanin-nests and go deeper.

I have done microneedling for 19 years and I always apply vitamin A, C and E to the skin immediately after the treatment. I have never seen a reaction ever and my experience covers about 2000 personal cases and in excess 10,000 when including my associates using the same regime.   The product we use is Environ vitamin ACE Oil which has no added preservatives, colourants or perfumes.  This is the same oil as used by Zeitter et al in their research at Hannover Medical School to test needling skin at weekly intervals.   In their research the vitamin A,C E oil vastly increased the magnitude of the result.

I was asked to confirm or deny the possibility of any connection between mandibular body fractures (mandibular body and angle) caused by a dog in a young boy and mandibular hypoplasia observed many years later. It is required for legal purposes. I cannot find any relevant literature so far.
Relevant answer
Answer
dear sir,
it was documented that trauma to the growth centers subsequently sometimes lead to different degrees of growth affection starting from slowing to complete secession. in case of mandible the trauma to condylar growth center is almost always indirect meaning that one end of the bone receive the trauma and the other end affected. the maximum force transmitted to the growth center of the condyle occurs after anterior part of the mandible[symphyseal trauma] even if no fracture resulted. the body and angle have less transmitted force to the condyle but when the direction of trauma was at the inferior border great force will be transmitted to the condyle and affection resulted[your case] beside growth cession the case may undergo ankylosis later on due to joint haematoma.

I think so. First peer reviewed papers published support this opinion - bringing (cosmetic) surgery to a cellular and even molecular level within the 1.2.3. Dimensional Concept of cause related treatment of the ageing face seems very promising. Looking forward to your opinion.

My experience in this field is quite positive when you enrich fat grafts with Stromal Vascular Fraction cells from lipoaspirates. The more you enrich, the better is the result in fat retention and regenerative effects. Regarding PRP addition i'm not so enthusiastic; I'm not observing better results when comparing PRP enriched vs non-enriched low volume fat grafts in the same patients.
