Abstract
- An epidermal grafting using the top of suction blister has been used successfully for the treatment of depigmented skin, such as vitiligo, achromic areas after dermabrasion, and burns. A 9-year-old girl showed the delayed wound healing of epidermal grafting site for the treatment of vitiligo on popliteal fossa. Direct microscopic examination (KOH) from the wound showed numerous hyphae. Fungus culture and germ tube test confirmed Candida albicans from the wound surface. The wound healed by antifungal treatment, leaving scar.
