This emergency treatment will not leave scars on children after burns

Because people wear very thick clothes in winter, they usually need to keep various heat-generating objects around them to prevent the body from being too cold. Too many heat-generating objects in winter will inevitably increase the possibility of burns. Children are very naughty. Even if they wear a lot of clothes, they may be burned instantly if they accidentally touch a hot object. Children should pay attention to the correct treatment measures after being scalded, otherwise they will be left with scars.

If you accidentally get burned, you should take the following measures:

1. Rinse the wound with tap water. Both scalds from boiling water and steam can be rinsed under the tap. If the wound does not blister or break, rinse it immediately. If the wound is blistered, soak a towel in cold water and apply it to the wound.

2. Don't take off your clothes in a hurry. If there are socks or clothes on the burned area, soak them with cold water immediately and never take off the clothes.

3. Dealing with blisters: If there are blisters on the burn site, whether to break them or not depends on the specific situation. Generally, do not break them to avoid leaving scars. However, sometimes large blisters or blisters located at joints that are more easily broken need to be broken with a sterilized needle. If the blisters have already broken, use a sterilized cotton swab to wipe off the liquid flowing out from around the blisters.

4. Bandage correctly. After cleaning the wound, apply ointment and then carefully bandage it with sterilized gauze. Check the wound regularly, continue to apply ointment, and seek medical attention if the wound is serious.

Special reminders are:

Not only can soy sauce, safflower oil, and toothpaste fail to prevent burns from further damaging the body, they can also contaminate the wound and affect the doctor's ability to observe the condition of the wound. Mercurochrome, gentian violet, etc. are not good disinfectant materials either. These two types of disinfectants have long been eliminated from clinical practice due to their high toxicity.

Scalds caused by hot water are generally first-degree or shallow second-degree burns. A large number of blisters will form within 24 hours. After local disinfection, the blisters can be pricked with a needle to release a light yellow liquid and anti-infection treatment can be carried out at the same time, but this must be done under the guidance of a doctor.
