2. What to do after a burn

1. After a burn occurs on your face, do not move your hands or rub it to prevent infection in the burned area. We need to choose different treatment methods according to the size and severity of the burn area. If the burn causes redness, swelling and blisters, and the blisters are too large, you can take a sharp needle and burn it over fire. Then wait until the needle cools down, puncture the bottom of the blister to release the water inside, then apply a layer of detoxifying burn ointment and bandage it with gauze.

2. If a small area of ​​burn occurs on the face, you need to apply Jingwanhong plaster immediately. This plaster not only relieves pain but also prevents blisters. Because after a burn, some blisters will appear on the skin. If you apply this medicine, not only will the blisters disappear, but they will also be less likely to become infected. For small second-degree burns, they can be healed with just one application. If the burns on the face are severe, scars may form in the future. In this case, you can wait until the scar heals and then apply some vitamin E capsules, puncture it with a needle, take the liquid inside and gently massage the scar for about 6 minutes, and do this twice a day.
