1. Deal with baby's burns and peeling according to when the baby's skin peels off. What to do if the baby's skin peels off based on when the baby's skin peels off? First, understand when the baby's skin peels off, whether it peels off immediately or after blistering. If it peels off immediately, it should be a deep second-degree burn. If it peels off after blistering, it is a first-degree burn. Nursing for peeling after blisters: This situation is a simple first-degree burn. Parents should rinse the baby with normal saline. If the blisters are large, puncture the blisters and then apply burn ointment to relieve the symptoms, so as to prevent the baby from peeling without leaving scars. Immediate peeling: It should be a deep second-degree burn. If this is the case, parents should keep the wound clean and dry, handle it calmly, do not apply any medicine on their own, and avoid soaking in water again after rinsing with cold water. The wound will dry after about 2 to 3 days. There is no need to apply medicine at this time. The scab will fall off and heal in about 10 days. If it does not heal by then, you should ask your doctor to see if it is due to a deep burn or infection.

2 Tips for treating baby's skin peeling after burns: It is best not to puncture the outermost skin after a baby is scalded, because the outermost layer has the function of protecting and preventing infection. If it has been damaged accidentally, you can temporarily apply sesame oil. If conditions permit, mix lime water and sesame oil for external application.

3 Note: Do not tear off the skin that your baby has burned and peeled off. Do not tear off the skin that your baby has burned and peeled off with your hands. On the one hand, the skin can protect the wound and prevent the wound from infection and inflammation; on the other hand, tearing it off with your hands will leave scars, which will leave a mark on your baby's perfect skin. The best way is to wait for it to fall off naturally. After cleaning the wound, apply some burn ointment appropriately, cover it with a clean cloth, and wait for it to recover. Clean it once a day.

4. Babies with burns and peeling skin should be reminded not to believe in folk remedies for burns and peeling skin. Many people use folk remedies such as applying toothpaste, soy sauce, vinegar, rice wine and brown sugar on the wound surface for treatment after being burned. These are all wrong. This will make it difficult for doctors to judge the condition of the wound, and will increase the possibility of wound infection and even leave scars. When babies get scalded and their skin peels, they should pay attention to replenishing water and strengthening nutrition. Scalding will take away water, protein and other components from the body. Parents need to give their babies appropriate amounts of salty liquids to drink, and their diet should be supplemented with eggs, beans, fish, lean meat, milk, vegetables and fresh fruits. The dietary principle is light and less spicy.
