Patient's question:
Auntie has diabetes, and now she has a burn. I don't know how to solve it. What should I do about a burn with diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients often find it difficult to heal burn wounds. In case of burns, it is generally necessary to rinse the wound immediately with cool water, then apply burn cream, and take anti-inflammatory medication orally. You should pay attention to skin hygiene and keep the skin dry and clean at all times. Healing the skin requires avoiding water exposure to prevent skin infections. If the burn is severe, medical treatment is necessary. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain physical and mental well-being, and keep personal hygiene to prevent bacteria from invading due to weakened immunity.
