Patient's question:
The child accidentally knocked over the hot water, and the boiling water scalded his foot. Fortunately, he was wearing shoes and socks, so the entire top of his foot turned red, with some signs of skin damage. Applying a little green ointment helped relieve the pain. What is the best medicine to use for inflamed burns?Doctor's answer:
After partial skin burns, due to the exposed wound surface, complications such as wound infection are prone to occur. It is recommended that if you suffer from burns, you should seek medical treatment promptly to avoid leaving scars. The primary use of medications on burns is to prevent infection and promote wound healing. Topical medications to prevent infection and promote wound healing include Beifuji, epidermal growth factor gel, and recombinant bovine alkaline fibroblast growth factor gel. It is advised that you seek treatment at a formal hospital and pay attention to preventing the wound from becoming infected.
