Abstract
We present a case of a full thickness epidermal burn resulting from an all-natural clay-based heating pad over a cesarean incision silver dressing to bring awareness to the risks associated with nonpharmacologic management of post cesarean pain. There is limited guidance on nonpharmacological management of post cesarean pain. It is important that providers are able to advise their patients about their options, including to be wary of using heating pads on post-cesarean dressings, especially with pain in the early post-partum period.
