    TLDR Burn reconstruction improves with new techniques, materials, and tissue engineering.
    This document from 2009 discusses the problems, techniques, and applications of burn reconstruction. It covers various areas of the body and provides recommendations for treatment options based on the severity of the contracture. The use of flaps and grafting techniques are discussed, as well as the importance of considering both function and cosmesis in the reconstruction process. The document also mentions the use of dermal substitutes and thin STSGs for certain areas, but notes the risk of recurrence and limits on mobility during the recovery process. The future of burn reconstruction lies in the expanding knowledge of perforator flaps, refinements in dermal substitute and epithelial culture technology, and tissue engineering.

      The conversation discusses a user's unconventional hair loss treatment involving scalp massage, dermastamping, and pouring hot water to induce a burning sensation, with a warning not to try it without further evidence. Other users suggest more traditional treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride, while expressing skepticism and concern about the hot water method.

      A user experimented with applying hot water to their scalp to potentially stimulate hair growth, noting reduced dandruff but uncertain hair loss results. They started this method due to side effects from minoxidil and are considering taking a break to observe changes.
