| Summary: | Background & justification: In clinical practice, burn injuries are among the most excruciating and function-limiting presentations that frequently call for multidisciplinary care. When further skin involvement is detected, partial-thickness (second-degree) burns are often treated with wound care, analgesics, and surgical referral. The case of a 30-year-old man with a second-degree thermal burn who was referred for surgery but chose conservative treatment is described in this paper. Calendula officinalis was used both internally and externally to treat him, in addition to regular sanitary practices. Result: Over the course of the follow-up period without surgical intervention, progressive epithelialization, pain reduction, and function restoration were noted. This case shows how homoeopathic medicine Calendula officinalis 30 and Calendula officinalis Q, may aid in tissue healing in partial-thickness burns. It also underlines the importance of customized homoeopathic treatment in certain situations.
