How to deal with blisters after burns

Burns often occur in daily life, and the treatment methods are different according to the degree of burns.


1. Degree: The scald only involves the epidermal layer. The wound skin is red, swollen, hot, and painful, but no blisters appear. Remove contaminated clothing immediately (do not forcibly tear or remove clothing to prevent the skin from falling off), rinse the burned part in cold water for about half an hour (if the burned part is on the trunk, you can use a cold towel to apply cold compresses), Then apply scalding cream to the wound.


II 2. Degree II: The scald involves the dermis. In addition to the symptoms of redness, swelling, heat, and pain, blisters may appear on the wound surface. Do not squeeze the blisters without permission, so as not to leave scars and increase the chance of infection. If the blister is damaged, you need to wipe the liquid around the blister with a sterile cotton swab. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time.


Degree III: The burns penetrated into fat, muscles, and even bones, and the wound surface was gray or reddish brown. Do not rub the wounds with medication, keep them clean and cover them with clean clothing, and transfer them quickly to the hospital.
