Abstract:
When using a Hollensteinstift to treat periorbital folds a 28-year-old female patient perceived a chemical burn of the lower lids and the periorbital regions. The initial treatment was frequent washing with soap solution and topical panthenol ointment. This unusual case is demonstrated to show the risks of improper use of silver-nitrate solution and to discuss therapeutic options.
