Abstract
The majority of skin trauma incidents cause minor injury that can be treated effectively in the outpatient setting. A new approach to the closure of skin lacerations using tissue adhesive is presented and the current management of abrasions, blisters, burns, skin tears, and subungual hematomas are reviewed. An overview of wound dressings is provided to assist in obtaining the optimal wound-healing environment.
