When it comes to burns, treatment needs can vary quite a bit, so our specialists work with you to develop a care plan that best suits your child's needs.

Because of our expertise in burn care, our specialists at Shriners Children’s Texas are also highly-qualified to provide care for children with a variety of complex wound and skin conditions. Members of our burn treatment team are thoroughly trained and experienced in the care of children with major burns, soft tissue injuries and blistering skin disorders.

If your child has traumatic wounds or skin blistering due to severe skin infections, reactions, frostbite, or other aggressive irritation, our specialists can assess their condition and develop an appropriate care plan for them.
