How to treat children's scalded skin?

Patient's question:

The son is 6 years old this year. A few days ago, while playing, he accidentally knocked over the family's hot water, scalding his skin, and it even blistered. The doctor also applied medicine to it. Please ask how to handle a child's blistered burn?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you;
After a child gets burned, it's best not to pierce the outermost layer of skin, as it has a function of preventing infection. If it's already damaged, you can temporarily apply sesame oil. If the condition is clear, lime water mixed with sesame oil should be applied externally. However, any treatment method should first be consulted with a doctor to avoid adverse reactions caused by blind medication, which may increase the child's pain.
