Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome

ID 1485

Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):

Recommendation: strongly against (available evidence shows that HBOT is in no way useful in treating Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome, and can have harmful effects. NOT RECOMENDED)

Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence

Heat Therapy

Recommendation: weakly against (there is scant evidence that heat therapy may help speed healing in skin infections, however more research is needed, and there are possible harmful effects to heat therapy being used without supervision by a qualified physician)

Grade of Evidence: low quality of evidence
