Subject: patients with the clean and small burn (1%) less than 160 cm2; biafine. Results showed that physiological indicators were not change after 7 days of use of biafine. Patients feel convinience, cool in the burn area. After 7 times of the distribution of bandage, the slight red granulation tissues occured, free edema, primary scar generation the soft scar occurred in the ninth and tenth day. There were no patients with the bad results.

In two years (1996 -1998) there were 55 patients with contracts and adherence of the scars in the axilla due to burn that had been operated in the department of plastic surgery of the national institute of burn with results: Good: 78,18%. - Medium: 21,82%. We have used surgery methods: transfer skin flap on the spot with Z,Y,V model, full thickness skin grafts or skin flap with vascular pedicle to cover defect after removed scars. But these methods must depend on the disposition, the position and the degree contracts of the scar. With these results, we affirmed that the effects of surgery methods in treatment for contracts and adherence of the scar in the axilla with a view giving back the movement function and the aesthetic for the those patients.

Introduction: Severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCAR) is seen in ≤5% of all hospitalized patients. It includes Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis spectrum (SJS/TEN), drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). Objectives: The main objective was to determine the epidemiological characteristics of SCAR patients at a tertiary hospital from 2011-2015. Specifi cally, it aimed to determine the prevalence, demographic characteristics and clinical profi le of SCAR patients. Methods: All SCAR patients from 2011-2015 were studied through a single-center, retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Results: Sixty-eight SCAR cases were diagnosed from 2011-2015 with a prevalence rate of 6.25 per 10,000 people. Majority were 46-55 years old with slight female predominance. The most common SCAR was DIHS/DRESS (50%), followed by SJS/ TEN (30%) and AGEP (20%). Eight percent had previous drug reactions, 69% had co-morbidities and 90% were diagnosed clinically without biopsy. The antibiotics was the most common culprit drug category followed by allopurinol and anticonvulsants. Prompt withdrawal of culprit drug/s, supportive therapy, systemic steroids and antihistamine, topical emollients and saline compress were mainstay of treatment. Mortality rate was 4% for all SCAR categories Conclusion The epidemiology of SCAR in this study is similar to those reported in other literature. The adults were commonly involved; DIHS/DRESS was the most common SCAR with antibiotics being the most common culprit. Prompt withdrawal and supportive therapy were essential. Systemic steroid, antihistamine; topical emollients and saline compress resulted in improvement of patients. In contrast, there was lower prevalence rate with slight female predominance; and lower mortality rate even with the use of systemic steroids.

There is more incidence of epicanthal fold in oriental and sometimes the epicanthal fold serves as an unacceptable appearence, so many seek cosmetic improvement in the medial canthal area to eliminate the epicanthal folds. Epicanthoplasty can give the aesthetic improvement by lenthening the palpebral fissure, thus producing the image of a larger and open-eye and especially it can enhance the aesthetic result of the double-lid procedure, but the epicanthal area is delicate and prone to produce a noticeable scar after epicanthoplasty, which is due to multiple incision and undue tension during the epicanthoplasty. We present a simple, tension free, and reproducible method of Z-epicanthoplasty based on our experience with 84 cases performed during the past 10 months in oriental eyelids. The advantages of this procedure are simplicity in design and minimal scaring produced in the medial canthal area without fear of hypertrophic scar as compared with complexed W-plasty, four flap, or Y-V plasty, which require multiple incision or undue tension and often creates unsightly scarring.
