This case explores the effectiveness of a phased moist wound healing protocol for neonatal aplasia cutis congenita.
Implemented a multidisciplinary moist wound healing protocol with silver, foam, and hydrogel dressings.
Managed inflammation and promoted granulation tissue through antimicrobial moisturization and systemic support.
Followed the male newborn with scalp defects for 12 days to observe healing progress.
Complete epithelialization was achieved within 12 days without eschar formation.
No recurrence of the scalp defects was observed at the 1-month follow-up.
Treatment improved healing quality and patient experience, suggesting its potential for widespread clinical use.
