Abstract
Moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO) is a fairly recent addition to the English burn literature for the local treatment of the burn wound. MEBO espouses the concept of wound healing in a moist environment by avoiding desiccation of the fragile burned areas. Though MEBO is as effective as conventional management, it is not the panacea for all burn wounds [1]. While using MEBO in the treatment of patients with burn wounds we discovered that it is also effective in the removal of bitumen from the skin of patients with hot bitumen burns. Of the five cases that we have treated, we present two to illustrate the use of MEBO in the management of hot bitumen burns.
