Abstract

Wound dressings are local therapeutic agents intended to create an optimal environment for wound healing, with specific properties according to the type and physiologic healing stage of the wounds. Some of the new dressings have also been proposed for use in the treatment of non-esthetic scars, as well as for preventing the formation of pathological scars. This review looks at allergic contact dermatitis from wound dressings.
