모발 탈색제에 의한 화학 화상 = Short Report : Chemical Burn due to a Hair Bleaching Agent

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Several hair dressing procedures, for example, bleaching and dyeing of the hair, are currently being frequently performed for cosmetic purposes. While allergic contact dermatitis due to hair dressing products has often been described, only a few cases of burns caused by hair dressing chemicals have been reported. A 6-year-old girl presented with an 8×6 cm sized round ulcerative lesion on the occipital area after hair bleaching with ammonium persulfate mixed with hydrogen peroxide. The skin biopsy specimen showed epidermal necrosis and sclerosing change in the dermis. She was referred to another burn center and then she was treated with skin grafting by a plastic surgeon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of chemical burn due to a hair bleaching agent in the Korean dermatologic literature. (Korean J Dermatol 2010;48(9):814~816)
