In daily life, there are many cases of burns and scalds. How to care if they happen?

It is necessary to take measures as soon as possible after being scalded, and rinse quickly with running tap water for at least 10 minutes to quickly reduce the heat on the skin surface. Treating the scalded area with cold water can neutralize the residual heat in the scalded skin, reduce further thermal damage, make the wound cool rapidly, and prevent the scalded area from forming scars. At this point, the scald should be cleaned in time and soaked in cold water for half an hour. The earlier the soaking time, the lower the water temperature, the easier the wound to heal and the smaller the scar left.

After cooling the wound, the injured person should take anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs for the wound in time. Before applying the scald ointment, the injured person can apply normal saline or normal saline around the wound to diminish inflammation, and then choose the scald ointment for wound healing.

Disinfection is to avoid infection, but also to avoid local scars. Because infection will cause damage to the dermal base, the epidermis can not regenerate, granulation will arrange proliferation to supplement deformity, which will definitely leave scars. Similarly, pustules should be treated by a professional doctor as soon as possible. To prevent inflammation from spreading to the deep, don't squeeze them with your hands. Rinse with cold water immediately after scalding to reduce the harm of high temperature to deep arrangement. Don't disinfect facial wounds with iodine, otherwise it will cause pigmentation.

In addition, burns are usually accompanied by blisters. Some people may feel uncomfortable when they see blisters, and they may hurt when they accidentally touch them, so they want to puncture them. Generally speaking, blisters are in a sterile environment. If it is punctured, it is likely to lead to bacterial invasion, and it is likely to leave a scar after being punctured. In fact, it does not mean that blisters must not be punctured, and it is necessary to decide whether to puncture according to the specific situation. If the blister is large or in some easily damaged places, you can use a sterile needle to suck or cut a small hole to drain water. After the water is drained, dry the scalded area with sterile cotton swab and keep it dry.

Pay attention to the diet, spicy food, beef and mutton, dog meat, seafood and other hair products can not be eaten. Supplementing foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin B is beneficial to wound healing.
