Do not use any remedies to relieve leg pain. Be careful that the pain is not solved, but it will cause skin burns. 1 60-year-old woman surnamed Zhang, because of leg pain, cut ginger slices and stuck them on her skin, and then heated them with wormwood. Unexpectedly, the sore and numb pain was not solved, resulting in leg skin 2? Third-degree burns, and even later cellulitis symptoms.

Improper use of folk prescription heating or hot compress may cause burns.

Dr. Li from the Department of Plastic Surgery of Guotai General Hospital said that many people will use heated warm packs, hot towels and hot compresses to promote local blood circulation and improve soreness because of muscle soreness or arthritis. I have even heard of cases of burns caused by folk remedies such as heating with wormwood, or by other warm and hot products.

This 1 patient heard from a friend that wormwood has the functions of warming channels and activating collaterals, dispelling cold and removing dampness, so he put a piece of ginger on his calf and put wormwood on the ginger to keep warm. Because of the careless distance when heating, they didn't notice that the temperature was too high, which caused the skin on the outside of the calf to be 6 cm long, 2 cm wide and 2? Third degree burns. Although I went to the clinic for medical treatment later, the wound did not improve and there were symptoms of cellulitis. Fortunately, I went to Guotai Hospital for treatment. After the wound was debrided by Dr. Li, the wound has slowly recovered.

Unfortunately scalded, what is the correct treatment principle? Rush, take off, soak, cover and send?

Reminder: some parts of the body are sore and should rest immediately. Most of the soreness will be relieved by the body's self-healing ability after a few hours to a few days of rest, or the sores are still not relieved, so it is necessary to seek medical examination. If you are unfortunately burned, what is the correct handling principle? Rush, take off, soak, cover and send? First flush 20 with flowing water? Cool the affected area for 30 minutes, and don't use ice to avoid frostbite.

For example, a woman surnamed Zhang did not see a doctor immediately when she was scalded, and the wound was large and infected due to improper handling. It is suggested that if the burn area is more than 2.5 square centimeters (such as the size of 10 yuan coin), or subcutaneous tissue burns or electric burns, she should see a doctor as soon as possible.

The woman used wormwood to burn ginger slices to treat leg pain, which actually caused cellulitis. Fortunately, Dr. Li, a plastic surgeon at Guotai General Hospital, debrided the wound, and the wound has gradually recovered.
