Patient's question:
A container similar to a bullet shell was used to boil water. The yellow liquid that splashed out scalded my hand. Will I get infected with anything?Doctor's answer:
In the initial stages of a burn, rinse with clean cool water, which can help to cool the area and relieve pain. If you rinse immediately, the severity of the burn will not develop to a serious extent. However, if symptoms such as redness, swelling, and blister rupture have already appeared, cold water rinsing is no longer suitable. This is especially true for open wounds, such as broken blisters, when it is not advisable to rinse with tap water to avoid infection. It is recommended to visit a clinic.
