- Abstract
Formic acid of 10-90% concentration has been used for its caustic effect as one of the methods of treatment of viral warts. Although nowadays considered obsolete for the risk of irritant dermatitis, burns and necrosis followed by scarring, the topical treatment is still being prescribed by dermatologists. The authors report two cases of burns in infants. The cause was common to both cases, the unfortunate erroneous administration of topical solution orally. The patients suffered significant burns affecting the face, neck, oral cavity and oesophagus. In both cases, the systemic effects of concentrated formic acid were expressed differently.
