Patient's question:
Basic Information: Male, 13 monthsDisease/Symptoms: Peeling
Description of Condition: The child was scalded with boiling water. It's peeling now. Will it leave scars later? They are taking medication. Just want to know if it will leave scars.
Doctor's answer:
Hello. The infant's scalded peeling may be caused by a second-degree burn. You can use povidone-iodine for disinfection. Apply ointment to the burn area. Take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, granules, etc. The treatment will take about 2 weeks. The main purpose is to prevent complications from drinking water. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Keep the skin clean and hygienic. Avoid local friction and adverse stimuli. Take medicine promptly. Apply ointment to prevent infection. Generally, it does not leave scars.
