Cigarette burns
Skin injuries caused by cigarettes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cigarette burns are (often deliberate) burn injuries caused by pressing a lit cigarette or cigar to the skin of a person. They are a common form of child abuse,[1][2][3] self-harm, and torture.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Cigarette burns are typically round and approximately 1 centimetre (0.4 in) in diameter, with a hypopigmented center and hyperpigmented periphery.[4]
