Abstract
Necrosis of the skin after contact with calcium chloride has been described in a variety of situations, including that of oil field workers and prolonged electroencephalographic testing (contact paste). Circumscribed dystrophic dermal calcification was reported for the first time in 1935 and may follow the application of dry calcium or calcium-containing solutions. The authors report a case of percutaneous penetration of a defrosting, industrial calcium salt, which was followed by deep-dermal thigh necrosis in a child. This uncommon injury raised concern about child abuse.
