A fourth degree burn additionally involves injury to deeper tissues, such as muscle, tendons or bone. Management of burn wound by natural Madhu and Haridra as local application. A 5 years child female patient visited OPD with burn on both gluteal regions due to fall down on hot iron plate. On local examinations, the buttock seen redness, discharge, blackish slough was noted so diagnosed as fourth
