Abstract :
Here we reported a one-year-old infant with tissue damage in the scrotum area, in which a small button cell battery had been found
in his diaper. Evidence suggested that the lesion was caused by contact with the leaky battery with the scrotal skin. The treatment
procedure was prescribed by a dermatologist. The healing process was tracked over the examination times. After two months, the
site of the lesion showed complete remission. The findings suggested that in such cases, after removing the chemical agent, blisters,
and necrotic tissues, therapeutic measures should be performed similarly to the thermal burns.
