Correction of depigmentation of postburn leukodermic scars is daunting. In contrast to vitiligo, the success rate of skin grafting techniques is much lower in postburn scars owing to altered skin architecture and poor graft uptake. Cellular transfer techniques such as noncultured epidermal or epidermal or keratinocyte suspension suffer the limitations of modest efficacy and high procedural cost. Follicular transplantation by the follicular unit extraction technique is being extensively used in vitiligo. Recently, it has been reported for the correction of scar alopecia. Although this approach is expected to significantly repigment pliant scars, the cosmetic unacceptability of the retained hairs may warrant removal. We describe an innovative three-step protocol to provide a repigmented smooth scar. We vernacularly labeled this technique follicular unit “exploitation,” as the follicular units “exploited” positively for repigmentation were later removed by laser hair reduction.

Background: Post burn leukoderma had been characterized by chalk white depigmented areas of variable sizes and shapes. Re-pigmentation of the hypopigmented lesion is still a big challenge, current treatment modalities for post burn leukoderma include non-surgical techniques and many surgical interventions.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of minced skin graft in the treatment of post burn leukoderma.Material and Methods: Twenty Patients (18 female & 2 males) with post burn leukoderma were included. Patients' age ranging from 10 to 50 years. The minimum leukoderma surface area was 0.5% whereas the maximum was 3%. Patients were assessmed one year post operatively using Vancouver Scar Scale and Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS).Results: Vancouver scar scale results were; Good pigmentation were obtained in 75%, Hyperpigmentation in 20% and Partial pigmentation was in 5%. For POSAS The overall patient opinion scale was 1 (which denote best skin colour) in 80%, score 2 in 10%, score 3 in 5%, score 4 in 5% of patients. Conclusion:Minced skin graft can be used safely for the treatment of post burn leukoderma. It is a simple reliable technique that can be easily integrated in our daily practice, no need for special instruments or laboratory preparations, gives a satisfactory result for patients with minimal donor morbidity.
