Post Burn and Scarring and Contracture of Toes

Scars are thickened marks left after a burn has healed. Most second- and third-degree burns cause some degree of scarring.The most important and effective method of controlling the wound contraction is to close the wound at the earliest using split-skin grafts in deep dermal and full thickness burns. Contraction can be inhibited by applying grafts to fresh wounds (as in early excision) or over healthy granulating areas (after eschar separation). As plastic surgeons are well trained in burn management it is best managed by them.
