It's easy to get burned. When it gets cold, many people put a hot water bottle under the bed. After entering deep sleep, because the skin is not sensitive to temperature, it sticks to the hot water bottle for a long time without changing its position. Woke up and found blisters. According to Zhang Jue, the attending physician of the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Zhong Da Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, this kind of burn belongs to "low temperature burn".

People who fall asleep after low-temperature burns are generally people who sleep deeply or feel dull at night. Low-temperature burns are not serious on the surface. The blister from the initial burn does not hurt, but it is actually a "third degree burn", which is more difficult to recover than an acute burn. If not handled properly, it will fester, and some will not heal for a long time.

Extended data:

Experts remind that when using a hot water bottle for heating, the cover must be tightened, and it is best to put a protective cover on the outside of the hot water bottle to prevent water from flowing out and scalding. Be careful that the water temperature is not too hot and the time is not too long. The hot water bottle should be placed beside the feet 10 cm, not on the feet.

It's best to put it in the quilt before going to bed and take it out when sleeping. Old people who suffer from diabetes or stroke sequelae and stay in bed for a long time should use hot water bottles with caution. Because the function of nerve endings in the elderly decreases, they are insensitive and prone to low-temperature burns.
