N2  - Wood ash, a traditional multipurpose agent, is sometimes used under occlusion as a folkloric prescription to ease pain and edema. Adding water or oil to ash forms a mixture with strong alkaline properties. We present interesting three cases who sustained full-thickness burns after application of a poultice of wetted wood ash for the treatment of leg pain.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
