| description | Tar burns though classified as a chemical injury, because of the difference in
mechanism of injury and the difficulty in removing the agent from skin without
causing further skin damage, presents a difficult problem to solve. More so, when
paediatric patients are involved. Tar burns are usually an occupational injury
in nature and are observed mostly in adult males. Here we present two cases,
i.e. a six-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl who sustained tar burns and were
successfully treated with Fleet® Mineral oil enema and paraffin tulle Bactigras®,
readily available in a hospital environment. |
