N2  - Mustard seeds and powder are commonly used in homeopathic and traditional medicines, in which they are believed to have both anti-microbial andanti-inflammatory properties. They are therefore utilized in the treatment of conditions ranging from arthritis to respiratory congestion. Herein, we present a patient with a second degree burn who used mustard powder in the form of a mustard plaster to treat chest congestion. She experienced second degree burn wounds to the lower neck and chest, and recovery with complete re-epithelialization following topical silver sulfadiazine, liberal emollient therapy, and triamcinolone ointment. This case highlights the potential danger of inappropriate use of topical homeopathic remedies such as mustard powder and details a successful treatment regimen.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
