Patient's question:
The children of my second aunts were burned or scalded. But the conditions here are not good. There is no way to take time off to go to a hospital for consultation. I don't know what to do. Could you please tell me how to handle a burn on the hand?Doctor's answer:
For fresh burns and scalds. It can be used to cool the wound. Prevent residual heat from damaging deeper skin tissues. And reduce pain. After scalding. Remove clothing and socks immediately. Soak undamaged wounds in cold water for half an hour. Then apply sesame oil and rapeseed oil to the wound. For large blisters of second-degree burns. You can use a sterile needle to puncture the edges of the blisters. And rinse with water. After applying burn ointment. You can wrap and secure the blisters appropriately. For third-degree burns. Cover with a clean cloth and send to the hospital promptly. Do not apply purple medicine or ointment to the wound. This will affect the observation and treatment of the condition.
