The treatment of leukoderma after burns by a combination of dermabrasion and "chip" skin grafting.
The treatment of leukoderma after burns can be difficult. The white patches are often extensive and the adjacent scar tissue itself may need excision and this further increases the size of the final defect. Moreover, when sheet skin grafts are used it is difficult to produce an inconspicuous border between skin graft and surrounding normal skin. We have developed a new technique to treat depigmentation following burns with minimal donor site morbidity and encouraging results.
