Abstract

Abstract Explosion-related facial black powder injuries are difficult to treat due to traumatic tattooing of powder residue. A common treatment protocol consists of immediate debridement using a variety of surgical techniques with no other adjuncts. The results are often mediocre because of scarring or powder remnants on the skin. The authors present a patient who suffered innumerable black powder tattoos to the face after a cannon explosion treated by initial debridement and serial treatments of 15% trichloroacetic acid peelings with a highly satisfactory result. Level of Evidence: 5
