Abstract |
When burn sequelae persist in childhood, they can impair quality of life and have severe physical, psychological, and social consequences. A pressure range from 10 to 25 mmHg is suitable for children wearing pressure garments. Educating parents and children about household burn risks is necessary to prevent children from being burned because even if burn injuries are not fatal, burn scars can have a clear impact on children’s lives.This paper summarizes the literature on the effects of conservative treatments for burn scars in children to improve future treatment habits and encourage further research into this topic.
