[Research progress on the mechanism of wound skin dys- pigmentation after burns].

Burn wound healing often shows a certain degree of pigmentation disorder. It may not only cause cosmetic and psychological issues affecting patient's normal social activities, but also increase risk of skin cancer or photoaging. Although normal skin pigmentation is fairly well studied, the mechanism that leads to dyspigmentation after burn injury needs to be further explored. Based on summarizing the mechanism of normal skin pigmentation, this paper reviews the latest research progress in postburn dyspigmentation in recent years.
