Introduction: Wound healing in burn patients presents a substantial clinical challenge. Various topical agents are available for the treatment of burn wounds. Facial burns present an increased challenge due to the complex management required, which impacts both physical recovery and psychological well-being. Aim: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of some natural products in treating facial burns. Materials and methods: The study included 50 patients grouped by age, sex, burn etiology, severity, and duration of treatment over a three-year period. Using an open approach technique, these patients received twice-daily applications of natural products such as oils, creams, and ointments. Gentle massage was used during application to ensure complete penetration of the products into the affected areas. Results: Effective penetration of the oils and ointments into the eschar tissue was observed, facilitating rapid eschar separation and improved aesthetic results. Patients reported complete recovery within 10 days with favorable esthetic results. This protocol demonstrated successful management of superficial facial wounds. Conclusions: Natural products proved effective in treating challenging wounds, including burns, edema, and post-surgical conditions, yielding positive outcomes. |
