Abstract:
Conventional skin grafts, cultured allogenic epidermal grafts, and autologous epidermal sheet grafts have been used to cover skin ulcers. We report here two cases of autologous epidermal sheet grafts after suction blistering was performed. The first patient was a 25-year-old adolescent who had multiple ulcers on the face after chemical peeling at a skin care center. The second case was a 21-year-old woman who had a 4x4 cm ulcer on the right shin area thought to be pyoderma gangrenosum. We treated these skin ulcers successfully without recurrence using autologous epidermal sheet grafts.
