Abstract
Injuries remain the leading cause of pediatric mortality, and burns are the fourth most common mechanism of injury, Younger children more commonly present with scald burns; whereas, flame burns are seen more often in adolescents.1 We had a case of 25 percent pediatric scald injury for whom we had used various novel regenerative methods and we would like to share our experience of the same.
