A member asked:
What type of burns qualify for skin grafting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As a general rule,: Any burn that doesn't heal in 3 weeks will have a better cosmetic result if skin grafted than if it is allowed to go on to heal by itself. In large burns, however, we try to make that determination earlier so that the patient's rehab can start as quickly as possible.
