scald is a common skin disease in burn surgery, most of which are burns caused by long-term skin contact with geothermal objects higher than body temperature. Burns are mainly divided into mild burns, moderate burns and third degree burns. Mild burns are mainly manifested as skin surface damage, redness, and pain; moderate burns do not damage the skin surface and the middle layer of the skin, and the skin may also have blisters and severe pain. Third-degree scalds are mainly manifested by nerve damage, which causes damage to all skin cells, which look reddish brown. Due to nerve damage, you may not feel pain.

　　 How to deal with burns so as not to leave scars?

1. If it is a mild scald such as a boiling water scald or steam scald, we must first keep as cool as it should be, and then check whether the wound is cracked and bleeding. If not, we will rinse the wound with tap water to help. It is used to cool the burned skin and reduce pain. If the burn is open or bleeding, do not wash it first to avoid inflammation caused by bacterial invasion.

2. If the scalded part just sticks to the clothes when burned, we should be careful not to detach the clothes from the body first, so as not to cause the skin epidermis to tear when detaching, you can rinse with tap water to cool down first, and then slowly and carefully Remove skin from clothing.

　　3. If blisters appear when burned, do not break them at will to avoid scars. First of all, we have to look at the size of the blister and the thickness of the blister. If it is thin, it can be punctured. We need to use a sterilized needle to prick a hole in the blister, and then use a sterile cotton swab to gently dry the leaking water .

　　4. After the treatment of the above steps, we can use scald cream to smear the wound, and then wrap it with clean gauze. Observe the condition of the wound at least two or three times a day. If it improves after applying the scald cream, we can continue to use it. However, if there is redness, swelling, and pain, etc., pay attention to whether the wound is infected and go to the hospital for treatment in time. The wound after dressing should also be careful not to get wet until recovery.

　　5. If it is a third-degree burn, we ordinary people are not knowledgeable enough to deal with it. We should wrap the wound with clean gauze in time and send it to the hospital for medical treatment. Do not apply ointment randomly to avoid wound infection and scars.
