Of BurnsCategory: OF SOME CASES IN WHICH THE CAUSTIC IS INAPPLICABLE. Source: Application Of The Lunar Caustic In The Cure Of Certain Wounds And Ulcers The application of the lunar caustic in recent burns or scalds, has always appeared to me to increase the inflammation and vesication, even inducing blisters where there were none before. The caustic must not, therefore, be applied in these cases, until the inflammation has entirely subsided; but when there remains only a small superficial ulceration, the caustic may be passed lightly over the ulcerated surface to form an eschar which is to be defended by the gold-beater's skin; for the affection is then reduced to the state of a common superficial ulcer. An adherent eschar is generally readily formed, and no further application is required. If the ulceration be more extensive and deeper, the lunar caustic may be applied, and the eschar treated, exactly as in common ulcers. It may be well to illustrate these points, by the following cases. Next: Burns Case Xxxiii Previous: Of Inflammation Of The Knee
