Water can be said to be very gentle. The ancients said that the best kind is like water, that is to say, the best kind should be as gentle as water, moistening things silently. It can be seen that water has been gentle and pleasant since ancient times. In fact, water also has a great ability to hurt people. Since ancient times, how many people's lives have been taken away by floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Even in modern times, there are many cases of scalding caused by hot water every year. We should know more about how to deal with scalding, so that we can be prepared. Today's news editor is here to talk about what to do if your feet are scalded by boiling water.
Scalding by boiling water is a common thing. The degree of scalding by boiling water is also heavy or light. According to the degree of scalding, we should choose different ways to deal with it. If it is a slight scald, and the area of the scald is relatively small, in the case of no skin damage, the scalded area should be quickly washed in cold water. After three to five minutes of washing in cold water, you can use some tooth paste containing Mint which is relatively cool to apply to the scalded area.
If it's a relatively serious or large-scale scald, it's not to say that it can be solved only by cold water and toothpaste. If you wear socks on your feet when you are scalded, you must not take off the socks immediately when the temperature of the scalded place is still high, so it is easy to take off the burned skin on your feet when you take off the socks, which will not only increase the pain, but also make the scald on the surface of the skin become the deep scald on the skin.
So, how to deal with this kind of scald? First of all, it should be understood that socks must be taken off, but they can't be taken off when the temperature of the scalded place is high. Instead, they should first use cold water to the scalded place, let the temperature drop, and then slowly take off the socks, so as not to cause secondary damage to the skin. After you take off your socks, you should immediately apply some scalding medicine, and then go to the hospital for treatment.
