Abstract:
Sea urchin stings have plagued many people and most commonly affect the feet. Many physicians in literature have described treatments for these traumas. The various treatment options for sea urchin stings range from soaking the feet in vinegar to help detach the barbs, to antibiotic therapy with narcotics for pain control. However, in an extensive review of literature, Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane has not yet been used to treat sea urchin stings. Allografts have been used to treat every type of traumatic condition and chronic foot ulcers that affect every type of population. Now Allografts such as Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane have found a new usefulness in the treatment of Sea Urchin stings. The Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane can reduce the scar tissue formation, decrease skin contracture and return to normal epithelialize skin.
