Patient's question:
Boy, 13 months: The child has scalded skin and is peeling. Is it taking medicine? Just want to know if it will leave scars.Doctor's answer:
The baby's peeling after scalding may be caused by a second-degree burn. It can be disinfected with povidone-iodine, apply ointment to the burn area, and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as granules. The treatment will take about 2 weeks. The main purpose is to prevent complications by drinking water, eating more vegetables and fruits, keeping the skin clean and hygienic, avoiding local friction and adverse stimuli, taking medicine promptly, applying ointment, and preventing infection. Generally, it does not leave scars.
