The patient was an adorable 5-year-old girl.
She sustained a burn injury when an iron accidentally touched her thigh.
After researching various treatment methods online,
she visited our clinic specifically for the “Natsui-style moist wound healing” approach.
We treated her using a hydrocolloid dressing.
Because we followed the Natsui-style moist wound healing method,
we never used disinfectants.
As there were no signs of infection,
we did not prescribe any antibiotics.
She was allowed to shower and bathe daily.
Twelve years later, she injured her knee and visited our clinic again after a long time.
At that time, we had the opportunity to take a photograph of the burn area.
Thank you very much.
The adorable 5-year-old girl had grown into a beautiful and graceful 17-year-old young lady.
I clearly remembered how she looked at age five, so the moment was deeply moving for me.

After 17 years of running my practice,
I occasionally have the pleasure of seeing patients again after more than a decade.
I’m simply happy that they still remember our clinic,
but some patients walk into the exam room and cheerfully say,
“Doctor! How have you been?!”
Moments like that make me feel truly happy.
