Patient's question:
A friend who lives together accidentally spilled boiling water while making tea, and it got on their hands. Now their hands are all red. They have been running the water under the cold tap for a long time, but as soon as they stop, they still feel a burning pain. I want to ask how to handle it better next, and how to heal a scald quickly.Doctor's answer:
It's best to go to a formal clinic for a check-up. After a burn, it's best not to apply red mercury or purple medicine, as it may affect the observation of the wound. The duration of rinsing with cold water after a burn should be more than 30 minutes. Also, avoid applying toothpaste or soy sauce. A systematic treatment should be carried out. Burn ointment can be used, which has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and promotes healing effects. If blisters form, do not pick them. As long as it does not lead to infection, it will not leave scars. It's best to have the hospital handle it, and it will not leave scars.
