Core Tip

Core tip: Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare disease in China and abroad. There is not yet a well-developed treatment for this disease. Combination of ionic silver dressing and moist exposed burn ointment in treating ACC is an useful and effective method. This treatment is worthy of being promoted in clinical practice.
