Patient's question:
Auntie has diabetes, and now she has burns. I don't know how to solve this. What should I do about diabetes burns?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients often find it difficult to heal burn wounds. In general, burns require immediate rinsing of the wound with cool water, applying burn cream, and taking oral anti-inflammatory medication. You should pay attention to skin hygiene and maintain the skin dry and clean at all times. Healing the skin does not involve immersing it in water to prevent skin infection. If the burn is severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment. Additionally, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
