Abstract
Electric burns causes severe morbidity and mortality and is still a common problem in our country despite the advancement in safety measures. electric burns range from mild blistering to deep burns with charring of tissues. When the electric burns wound begin to heal there is difficulty in healing owing to the size of the wound and the charring of tissues in the burn skin
