    The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Dermabrasion for burn scars can cause leukoderma (loss of skin color). However, two out of three patients achieved successful repigmentation using autologous minigrafting and epidermal suction grafts.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Surgical scar revision often involves procedures like dermabrasion.
    • Thermal burn injuries can result in significant scarring and cosmetic concerns.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with leukoderma, a depigmentation of the skin, after undergoing dermabrasion for post-thermal burn scarring.
    • The leukoderma appeared several years after the initial burn injury.

    Findings:

    • Two of the three patients with iatrogenic leukoderma achieved successful repigmentation.
    • Treatment modalities included autologous minigrafting and epidermal suction grafting.

    Implications:

    • Dermabrasion, while used for scar revision, carries a risk of causing leukoderma.
  • Autologous grafting techniques show promise for treating iatrogenic leukoderma and restoring skin pigmentation.
