Resumen

Skin burns are injuries caused by physical and chemical mechanisms, with thermal burns from fire being the most common. These injuries can cause death or long-term disability; The use of orthobiological agents such as platelet-rich plasma and its derivatives have shown good results in chronic wounds and skin lesions.The present study presents the case of a 1 year 6-month-old child who suffered a second-degree thermal burn on the palm of his right hand, which caused him a lot of pain and was resistant to analgesics. For this reason, it was decided to perform a regenerative therapy based on debridement and application of 2 sessions of allogeneic plasma gel, from the mother, as a biofilm, in addition, topical antibiotic cream was added to cover the wound. After 8 days of the first application, the wound had re-epithelialized adequately, with almost no evidence of the previous burn, which allowed rapid rehabilitation and complete recovery. Allogeneic plasma gel could be a safe, low-cost and effective option for the healing of second-degree burns and an alternative to skin autografts or xenografts.
