Nonsurgical management of an electrical burn of the scalp.
The remarkable regenerative capability of the scalp reduces the need for skin grafting in electrical burns of this area. We report on a deep 7.5 cm electrical burn of the scalp which healed completely under conservative management with 20% urea compresses, benzoyl peroxide gel, and systemic erythromycin.
