The current report aimed to introduce the history of wound treatment in a 1-month-old infant that was taken care by modern dressing with Aquasel tender wet plus and Colactive R plus collagen. The patient was admitted to the hospital with seizure, but after complete physical examination, it was revealed that her left thigh had experienced burning, and an extensive necrosis had occurred at the child’s skin.
