Abstract

This case highlights the consequences of unregulated, online-acquired topical treatments. This is exemplified by a 29-year-old woman who suffered from severe chemical burns to both hands after using a peeling solution purchased without a prescription. The absence of regulations allowed the sale of this product, leading to misuse and severe adverse effects. Such incidents show the urgent need for a regulation that would reduce the risks associated with online purchases of medical products. We need to register and make case reports whenever we see similar cases to ensure the authorities are aware of the extent of this problem.
