Pemphigus, a blistering disease, commonly presents with extensive, superficial, painful, moist, cutaneous erosions requiring appropriate systemic therapy and scrupulous high-quality wound care. Historically, paraffin waxes have been used for the treatment of wounds and burns. Despite the availability of nonadherent dressings, they are often difficult to secure to the wet wound bed. 1,2 SOLUTION We practice a simple dressing method developed by Mohan Gharpuray, FRCP (Maharashtra Medical Foundation, Pune, India), to secure dressings in pemphigus using custom-made sterile gauze sheets doused with liberal quantities of liquid paraffin in a stainless steel dressing drum and sterilized in a double-drum autoclave. First, normal saline soaks are used to remove crusts. Second, after the wound is gently dabbed dry, paraffin-embedded tulle nets are directly applied over it. Adhesive tape can provoke new lesions when removed, akin to Nikolsky's sign, and should be avoided. Third, the liquid-paraffin-impregnated sterile gauze sheets are draped as a double layer across the shoulders like a shawl, wrapped around the waist like a beach towel, and secured with a knot instead of tape (Figs 1 and 2). This semiocclusive dressing minimizes accidental shearing and provides moisture to the wound bed, promoting re-epithelialization while allowing free drainage of the wounds. It does not disturb the healing epithelium during subsequent dressings. Thus, it is very easy to prepare, apply, secure, and remove, offering significant improvement in quality of life for a patient with pemphigus.
