Abstract
Lysol is a derivative of phenol and is alkaline in nature. Lysol produces liquefactive necrosis after contact with skin by producing protein denaturation and saponification of fats. In this article we are sharing our experience of managing a case of Lysol burns with various regenerative therapies.
