Scalds occur from time to time in life. Don't panic when you are scalded, and don't be in a hurry to apply toothpaste. Let's see what to do.
How to deal with scald
In daily life, if you are scalded by hot objects such as boiled water and oil, emergency treatment can reduce the pain of scalding.
1. Don't take off your clothes in a hurry. If there are socks or clothes on the scalded part, soak it in cold water for the first time, and don't take off your clothes.
2. Rinse the wound with tap water. Boiling water scald and steam scald can be washed under the tap. If the wound is not blistered or broken, rinse directly. If the wound blisters, soak it in cold water with a towel and apply it to the wound.
3. Wrap properly. After cleaning the wound, apply ointment, and then carefully wrap it with sterilized gauze. Check the wound regularly and continue to apply ointment. If the wound is serious, see a doctor in time.
4. To deal with blisters, if there are blisters at the scalded area, whether to break them or not should be analyzed in detail. Generally, they should not be broken to avoid leaving scars. However, sometimes blisters with large blisters or blisters at joints that are easy to be damaged need to be pierced with a disinfection needle. If the blisters have been broken, wipe the liquid flowing around the blisters with a disinfection cotton swab.
How to deal with scalded by boiling water
1. Do not apply toothpaste immediately after scalding. The toothpaste makes the hot air of the skin unable to be emitted, which will lead to the diffusion of the hot air to the subcutaneous tissue and cause deep injury.
2. Do not cold compress the wound with ice to avoid the deterioration of the damaged wound caused by low temperature.
3. Do not use soy sauce to treat wounds. Because soy sauce has no therapeutic function, and the color of soy sauce will affect the doctor's diagnosis.
Scalded by boiling water, it is recommended to treat the wound with scientific methods. In addition, you can refer to some folk prescriptions.
1. Gently apply light salt water to the burned area to reduce inflammation.
2. Cold water treatment. First rinse the wound with cold water, and then soak the wound in cold water for half an hour. Under normal circumstances, the earlier the soaking time, the lower the water temperature, but not lower than 8 ℃ to avoid frostbite. Early treatment of the wound, the better the effect. However, if it bubbles and breaks, soaking is not recommended to avoid infection.
3. Smear the wound with egg white, cooked honey or sesame oil, which has the effect of anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
Note: some folk prescriptions for the treatment of boiled water scald have not been scientifically verified. Be sure to consult a doctor before use and use them carefully.
How to treat scalded by oil
When cooking, sometimes when water accidentally enters the oil, it will be scalded by the splashed oil. Generally, it is treated in your own way to prevent scars.
1. First wash the wound with cold water, and then soak the wound in cold water for half an hour. However, if there is blistering and breaking, do not soak at this time.
2. Then you can gently apply light salt water to the scalded area, which can play an anti-inflammatory role.
3. Cut a few raw pears and stick them on the scald. The effect of astringent and analgesic is also obvious.
4. Cut a small piece of aloe meat on the aloe at home and stick it on the scalded area. Because aloe is a cold plant, it can immediately reduce the temperature of the affected area. If the scald is not very serious, aloe can usually make the wound disappear invisible.
In case of severe scald, if there is no skin damage, go to the hospital as soon as possible after cold water treatment.
