Abstract:
Delayed postburn blister is defined as a spontaneous blistering condition at the burn scar or donor sites for split thickness skin grafts. It occurs within weeks following healing and spontaneously ceases to develop for several months. It is true that this condition has been regarded as a normal spectrum of wound healing even though it is not uncommon among convalescent burn patients. A 51-year-old male patient presented with spontaneously developed tense, hemorrhagic bullae on the red brownish burn scar after second degree superficial flame burn. Histopathological finding of the blister showed subepidermal bulla. We herein report a delayed postburn blister to promote interest of this common condition.
