Skin grafts after burns require full thickness where stretched
A mother asks about graft depth for a 5 year old with 35 percent burns. Deep burns need split-thickness grafts initially and full-thickness grafts later in stretched areas like the neck. Grafts grow with the patient if scar tissue is limited. healthy grafts can grow, scar tissue cannot. Cancer risk is not increased in the grafted area, but severe burns link to ulcers elsewhere. For a 9 year old with pockmark from chickenpox the choice is chemisurgery or dermabrasion to erase outer skin pits.
