How to treat scald? How to "rush"

summary

In daily life, skin burns are common, especially in summer, such as the explosion or overturning of hot water bottles, collision with each other when flushing boiling water, boiling water burns caused by children playing in the kitchen, or children mistakenly enter the non competitive hot tub when taking a bath; the most serious is the severe facial steam burns caused by steam valve failure when cooking rice porridge or mung bean soup in the pressure cooker. Let's talk about how to treat burns.

How to treat scald? How to "rush"

First: "Chong" refers to immediately leaving the heat source after burn and scald, washing the injured surface with flowing cold water, reducing the temperature of the injured surface, and alleviating the aggravation of tissue damage caused by further penetration of high temperature.

Second, "take off" is something that many people tend to ignore. If you are scalded by boiling water, there is still high water temperature on your clothes. If you do not take off your clothes, it is equivalent to not getting rid of the heat source, which will still aggravate the injury. So it's the right way to deal with it.

Third: "bubble" means to continue to soak the wound in cold water after taking off the clothes. Soaking cold water can keep the temperature down to avoid blistering or aggravating the disease. If there are small blisters, be careful not to break them, and let the doctor deal with them.

matters needing attention

When the wound scab falls off, don't remove the scab by force. If the epidermal cells are not fully grown at this time, without the protection of scab, they will form pigmentation or inflammatory reaction.
