TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Deodorant Spray: A Newly Identified Cause of Cold Burn JO - Pediatrics A1 - May, Ulrich A1 - Stirner, Karl-Heinz A1 - Lauener, Roger A1 - Ring, Johannes A1 - Möhrenschlager, Matthias SP - e716 EP - 8 VL - 126 IS - 3 N2 - Two patients encountered a first-degree cold burn after use of a deodorant spray. The spray-nozzle to skin-surface distance was approximately 5 cm, and the spraying lasted approximately 15 seconds. Under laboratory conditions, the deodorant in use was able to induce a decline in temperature of >60 degrees C. These 2 cases highlight a little-known potential for skin damage by deodorant sprays if used improperly.
