What should I do if my hands are burned by hot water?

In fact, there are often accidents of burns and scalds in the family, but because the injured and their families often do not do emergency treatment, they miss the opportunity to treat in the initial time of the accident, which deepens the pain of the injured and leaves a greater chance of scarring. So what do we do when we encounter this situation? First of all, don't panic.

If it is a boiling water scald, steam scald or fire burn, as long as the area is less than 40, the blisters immediately after the burn and the pain is obvious, in short, it is a small area and shallow, it is necessary to immediately take cold water or ice water, soak the wound in cold water for half an hour to an hour, wait until it is taken out of the cold water and feel no pain, and then slowly take off the clothes of the wound, wrap it with a clean dressing and bandage, and send it to the hospital. If the area of the wound is small and the degree is very light, after soaking in cold water and applying some common drugs and then bandaging, it will get better on its own in a few days. Therefore, you should always have some burn and burn medicines at home in case of emergency, and these drugs can be found in general pharmacies.

Early cold water treatment has great benefits for wound healing, the first can reduce pain, the second can reduce edema, early scalding causes changes in blood vessels, a lot of plasma-like things will flow out of the blood vessels, after cold water treatment, edema is light, oozing less. Thirdly, after the use of cold water, some toxic substances of the wound can be reduced, and the secondary damage to the wound can be reduced. Therefore, this kind of patient will heal more quickly, and the scar will be lighter in the future.

So the early treatment is very effective and very simple. If it is scalded by hot water, some people say that being scalded by hot water and then adding cold water is not hot, but we don't think so. If the burn area is too large and treated with cold water, the whole body reaction may be more serious, but the small area will not be a problem, it will only be beneficial.
