What is the right way to deal with scald
4hw.org: it's hard to avoid accidental scald in our life. Sometimes the scald area is not large, but we can't be careless. We need to deal with the scald seriously to avoid infection. How to deal with it properly after scald? Let's have a look with Xiaobian!
The best treatment after burn is local cooling, and cold water washing is the most practical and feasible method. The earlier the washing time is, the better. Even if the burn has already caused the epidermis to fall off, it should also be washed with cold water. Do not be afraid of infection and dare not wash. The washing time can last for about half an hour, which is subject to the significant reduction of pain after separation from cold source.
For chemical burns caused by acid and alkali, the early treatment is also to wash with clear water, and a large number of flowing clean water should be washed, without having to find the neutralizer of this chemical substance. Early application of neutralizer will aggravate local tissue damage due to acid-base neutralization and heat production.
Electric burns can be divided into two categories: one is caused by electric arc, and the treatment method is the same as that of general burns; the other is caused by contact between human body and electric current, which is also a real electric burn. Such injuries are usually serious, and should be treated immediately after disconnection from the power supply.
Treatment after skin scald:
1. Apply light salt water to the burn area to reduce inflammation.
2. Wash the wound with cold water first, and then soak the wound in cold water for half an hour. Generally speaking, the earlier the soaking time, the lower the water temperature (not lower than 5 ℃ to avoid frostbite), the better the effect. But if the wound has blistered and broken, do not soak it to prevent infection.
3. Use egg white, cooked honey or sesame oil, mix and evenly apply to the injured area, which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
4. Apply soy sauce or honey, lard, dog oil and ginger juice to the injured area, all of which will be effective.

8. Scrape out a small piece of aloe flesh with a knife, and apply it to the scalded area. Because aloe is a cold plant, its transparent and thick silk juice can immediately reduce the temperature of the affected area. If it is not a very serious scald, aloe usually can make the wound disappear.
9. After scalding the skin of hands and feet, immediately pour the alcohol into the basin or barrel, and immerse all the injured parts in the alcohol to relieve pain and eliminate redness, and prevent blistering. If soaked for 1-2 hours, the scalded skin can gradually return to normal. If the injured part is not easy to be soaked, a piece of cotton wool can be dipped into the liquor, taken out and applied to the injured part, and the liquor can be drenched on the cotton wool at any time to prevent drying. After a few hours, it can also achieve good results.

15. In case of small area scald, immediately apply some toothpaste, which can not only relieve pain, but also inhibit blistering. The blisters will also subside by themselves and are not easy to infect. A small area of second degree burn is cured once.
