As dermatology has evolved into a medical/surgical specialty, care for the patient with difficult postsurgical wounds has emerged as an aspect of practice for an increasing number of dermatologists. Here, we present a transforming powder dressing which yielded fast, cost-effective healing of two such wounds, while also relieving the patient and his family of any wound care responsibility.
