Rapid and Remarkable Response of Deep Second-Degree Burns to the Herbal Oils "Kadi" Product of a Yemeni Child: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Pediatric burns are a common injury, posing significant challenges due to the risk of infection and long-term scarring. The search for effective, safe, and easily accessible topical treatments is crucial, especially in resource-limited settings.

Case Presentation: A 10-year-old Yemeni male presented with a deep partial-thickness burn on his forearm caused by hot tea (scald). Initial conventional treatments, including Mebo® ointment, povidone-iodine debridement, and topical Fucidin® (fusidic acid) for infection prophylaxis, failed to promote atisfactory healing. The treatment regimen was then switched to a novel topical application of the mix herbal extract oils, “Kadi”, applied three times daily.

Outcomes: A dramatic clinical response was observed immediately following the initiation of Kadi herbal oils drops product. The wound achieved complete re-epithelialization within seven days of Kadi application, which is significantly faster than expected for this burn depth. The final outcome demonstrated excellent cosmetic results with minimal post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and the absence of hypertrophic scarring.

Conclusion: This case report demonstrates the outstanding and rapid efficacy of the topical herbal extract Kadi herbal oils drops product in treating deep partial-thickness burns in children. Kadi herbal oils drops product presents itself as a highly promising alternative or adjunct therapy for burn management, warranting further randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to elucidate its active components and mechanism of action.
