Due to carelessness or accidents, people are often scalded by boiling water, hot oil, hot soup, steam and so on. After scalding, the local skin is red, swollen and stinging, and the epidermis is blistered. In severe cases, the epidermis may fall off, and the wound may be white or black. Timely treatment after scald is of great significance to relieve pain and prevent the deterioration of the condition. Therefore, when you encounter burns, you should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Take off or cut open clothes soaked by hydrothermal solution as soon as possible.

(2) Once scalded, for whatever reason, wash it with tap water immediately for 20 ~ 30 minutes. Cool tap water can immediately neutralize the residual heat on the skin and reduce the damage to skin tissue caused by scald.

(3) If blisters appear, don't puncture them to avoid infection; If the blister is broken, don't tear off the skin, but apply antibiotic ointment to the affected area.

(4) Don't daub earth (such as mouse oil, soy sauce, toothpaste and sesame oil) without authorization, so as to avoid the wound being polluted and causing infection.

(5) When the scald is serious, rinse it with tap water for 20 ~ 30 minutes, and then immediately send it to the hospital for treatment.
