It depends on the degree of scald, which is divided into grade one, grade two and grade three. In fact, it is the difference between ordinary burns and scalds.

For a simple example, superficial skin tissue burns are characterized by superficial skin blistering, redness and swelling, relatively painful reaction, and no obvious skin damage, which can be treated with scald ointment. My girlfriend has been scalded by boiling water before, that's all. At that time, Ma Yinglong scald cream was used, and the effect was good. The second is that the scald has reached the subcutaneous tissue, and the pain is severe, which may cause superficial skin necrosis. This will be treated in the hospital. After treatment, the skin will not sweat, feel inflexible, hard and straight. After treatment, proper hand activities should be carried out to achieve the previous flexibility and proper skin care (according to the doctor's advice), but it will leave a considerable degree of scar. If your hands are more flexible, you can wear gloves to cover them. The worst burns have reached the burn level. If all kinds of remedial measures can't be used, we can only use autologous skin transplantation, which may bring local disability and is not conducive to work. Now you just don't know the extent of mom's burn, so you can judge the recovery. Generally speaking, skin stretches more easily than other parts of the body due to frequent hand movements. As long as the treatment is timely and the scald does not reach the subcutaneous tissue, I believe that recovery should be ideal.

In addition, hand burns are different from burns in other parts. If conditions permit, dressing needs to be bandaged after dressing change to see how the doctors at that time handled it. Whether you can work after scalding depends on the effect of rehabilitation treatment. If you recover well, you can go back to work.
