Burns and scalds are relatively common injuries in children. Formation of hypertrophic scars or keloids is feared complications. A 2-year-old girl who spilled a cup of hot coffee onto herself developed widespread hypertrophic scars and beginning keloids on her upper chest, despite application of pressure garments and daily massage with silicone gel. Herein, we describe instructions for use of prolonged continuous 24-hour occlusive application of self-adherent silicone sheets to help mitigate the formation of scar tissue.
