Local care and management of donor site wound (DSW) should be aimed at creating an environment which promotes early epithelialisation with minimal pain and discomfort to the patient with reduction in duration of hospital stay. Though the procedure of split skin grafting is more or less standardized, management of donor site wound greatly differs and is a debatable topic. The cases are assessed according to the objectives like Rate of Epithelialisation, pain, pruritus, need of analgesia post-operatively. All the patients were explained about the basis of the study and informed consent is obtained. According to wilcoxon matched pairs test, group A showed mean difference of 1.77 and SD difference of 0.65 on post-operative day 1 compared with post-operative day 3 pain with ā€˜pā€™ value of 0.0001 which is statistically significant. Group B showed mean difference of 0.51and SD difference of 0.89 on post-operative day 1 compared with post-operative day 3 pain with ā€˜pā€™ value of 0.0077 which is statistically significant.
