Is toothpaste good for burns Does toothpaste for burns work?

Scald toothpasteIn daily life, no matter how careful people are, they will inevitably encounter burn accidents. Many people usually apply toothpaste immediately after a burn, but experts point out that this practice is not scientific.

** Experts say that for first-degree and superficial second-degree burns, because only the epidermis is injured, redness, swelling, pain or blisters, applying toothpaste can play a certain astringent and anti-inflammatory role, but for deep second-degree and third-degree burns that hurt the dermis, it is meaningless, and because the heat of the wound is covered by toothpaste and other substances, it has to spread to the deep subcutaneous tissue, which may also cause deeper burns. In addition, although the application of toothpaste for burns has an astringent effect on mild burns, it does not change the permeability of blood vessels and does not protect the wound, on the contrary, toothpaste can easily cause exudate to accumulate, breed bacteria, cause infection, and even leave scars.

There are many patients with summer burns, and the high temperature during the burn will directly cause damage to the local tissue and cause the capillaries of the adjacent tissues to become congested. While some toothpastes have an astringent effect and may have some effect on mild burns, they are not suitable for severe burns, especially if exudate has already appeared. Because the substances contained in toothpaste cannot change the permeability of blood vessels, nor can they prevent tissue penetration, they cannot protect the part of the burn.

On the contrary, due to the adhesion of toothpaste, exudate can easily accumulate and cannot be well drained, and it is easy to breed bacteria and become infected. When encountering burns, patients should first keep calm and try to soak the wound or cold compress with tap water or cold water to lower the temperature, reduce pain, and at the same time constrict the dilated blood vessels, reduce exudation and delay tissue edema.

This habit is very harmful, it is not conducive to observing the condition of the disease, and it will also increase the risk of infection, so don't apply a dry item in the kitchen to the wound!
