Patient's question:
Accidentally scalded my back of the hand with boiling water. I quickly rinsed the back of my hand with cold water to lower the temperature. There were no blisters. However, there was still pain and redness on the back of my hand. I had a burn cream at home, so I quickly applied it to the burned area. The effect was quite good, and the pain subsided after a while. Can burn cream be used to treat burns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you should not eat spicy or irritating foods until the burn has fully healed. At the same time, it is important to note that this medication is not suitable for pregnant women. This is an external medication and should not be taken internally. After using the medication, if there is no significant improvement and symptoms such as chills, fever, or pus formation appear, you should seek medical attention immediately. This medication is not suitable for severe or large burns. Are you healthy?
