Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect on accreting raw surface and scarring in burning and scald of skin with aloe gel. METHODS There were 100 patients suffered burning and scald of skin, and there were 55 male patients and 45 female patients, they were 15-65 years old that averagely 37.5±3.2 years old. Patients were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, 50 patients in each group. the two groups received treatment of debriding, exposing or wrapping. The treatment group were treated with the burning and scald paste in moistening and aloe gel, and the control group were treated only with the burning and scald paste in moistening. The above drugs were coated well-distributedly onto the wound surfaces with the depth of about 1 mm in 3 times per day. Then the clinical informations of two groups of patients’ wound healing time, the rate of infection, the formation of scar, the occurring of pigmentation and the adverse reactions were observed. RESULTS The average curing time in treatment and contro group was (10.2±1.1)d and (16.7±1.9)d, respectively, the rate of infection in two groups was 4% and 16%, the scarring rate was 4% and 22%, and the cure rate was 96% and 72%, the occurring of pigmentation was 9 and 23. The two groups of patients hadn’t presented the obvious adverse reactions. The comparation of difference on the observation of outcomes in the two groups had statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Aloe has obvious effect on accreting raw surface and scarring in burning and scald of skin as well as reducing the formation of scar.
