This case study demonstrated the effectiveness of a compounded topical formulation containing naltrexone in managing surgical wound, showing accelerated wound healing and prevention of abnormal scarring.
Background In current guidelines, there is no specific therapeutic recommendation for promoting surgical wound healing. Proper postsurgical wound care regimen can speed up wound healing and prevent abnormal scarring. Aims The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a compounded topical formulation containing naltrexone in managing surgical wound in a patient after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Patients/Methods A patient started to apply the topical naltrexone formulation two days after the MMS on his hand. Images of the wound and a Patient Scar Assessment Questionnaire (PSAQ) were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes. Results The wound completely healed, and the hand function was fully recovered following application of the formulation for 2 weeks. No abnormal scarring was formed, and the scar was only slightly noticeable after 2 months. Conclusion This case study demonstrated the effectiveness of the topical naltrexone formulation in surgical wound management.
