Several cases of lye burns of the face are presented. The most common causes are explosions. Primary treatment includes continuous irrigation, debridement by dermabrasion and split-thickness skin grafts. The problems resulting from deep burns with loss of the eyelids and exposure of the alar cartilages, can be solved satisfactorily only with distant pedicled flaps.
