However, misinformation and misuse of folk medicines can result in dangerous complications. Among the possible complications of folk remedy use, this study focused on the clinical characteristics of burns caused by folk remedies.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods\u2003We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients who had been treated for burns caused by folk remedies from May 2015 to April 2022. Data were collected on patients' age and gender, type of folk remedy, reason for using the folk remedy, the severity of the burn, the number of wounds, lesion type, and type of treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003We found 59 patients with burns due to folk remedies. Most were female (76.3%) and \u2265 60 years old (72.9%). The most common type of folk remedy was moxibustion (74.6%), followed by the use of glacial acetic acid (20.3%). The reasons for using folk remedies were arthralgia relief (39%), health improvement (18.6%), and treatment of tinea pedis (11.9%). Most patients had multiple wound sites and had burns that were considered severe, requiring surgical treatment (72.9%). The majority of lesions were on the lower extremity, including the foot.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003This study described the risk of burns caused by folk remedies and the clinical characteristics of the wounds. The results emphasize the need for greater public awareness of the risk of burn injuries when using folk remedies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2040-0826","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]],"date-time":"2023-02-21T23:59:25Z","timestamp":1677023965000},"page":"305-310","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Etiology Report for Burns Caused by Korean Folk Remedies"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6111-7163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong Sil","family":"Joo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hanil General Hospital, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4883-308X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyun Been","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hanil General Hospital, Seoul, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"07","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1588","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2016.04.015","article-title":"Epidemiology of burns caused by moxibustion in Korea","volume":"42","author":"C Yoon","year":"2016","journal-title":"Burns"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctim.2010.07.001","article-title":"Adverse events of moxibustion: a systematic review","volume":"18","author":"J E Park","year":"2010","journal-title":"Complement Ther Med"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"783704","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/783704","article-title":"Safety of moxibustion: a systematic review of case reports","volume":"2014","author":"J Xu","year":"2014","journal-title":"Evid Based Complement Alternat Med"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.1310\/hpj5004-304","article-title":"Glacial acetic acid adverse events: case reports and review of literature","volume":"50","author":"W Doles","year":"2015","journal-title":"Hosp Pharm"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"198","DOI":"10.22467\/jwmr.2021.01781","article-title":"Fingertip necrosis due to chemical burn from glacial acetic acid: a case report","volume":"17","author":"C H Song","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Wound Manag Res"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2021.01.039","article-title":"Garlic burn injuries- a systematic review of reported cases","volume":"44","author":"M Hitl","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Emerg Med"},{"key":"ref8","first-page":"76","article-title":"Chemical burn due to garlic: a case report","volume":"12","author":"J H Kim","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Korean Burn Soc"},{"issue":"09","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1948","DOI":"10.1271\/bbb.90096","article-title":"Antibacterial potential of garlic-derived allicin and its cancellation by sulfhydryl compounds","volume":"73","author":"H Fujisawa","year":"2009","journal-title":"Biosci Biotechnol Biochem"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref10","first-page":"352","article-title":"Chemical burns following massage with chopped Pulsatilla Koreana","volume":"29","author":"J Song","year":"2017","journal-title":"Wounds"},{"key":"ref11","first-page":"134","article-title":"Chemical burn due to mustard: a case report","volume":"15","author":"K H Yu","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Korean Burn Soc"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"520","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irz048","article-title":"Rare burn cases treated traditionally: folk medicine: review of eight cases","volume":"40","author":"H Akelma","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Burn Care Res"}],"container-title":["Archives of Plastic Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-2040-0826.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]],"date-time":"2024-10-14T21:02:02Z","timestamp":1728939722000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-2040-0826"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,29]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-2040-0826","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2234-6163","2234-6171"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2234-6163"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2234-6171"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,21]]}}}
