What ointment can heal burns quickly?

When the weather enters the colder winter, the probability of some physical injuries will become very high. Among them, burns are such a physical injury. Generally, the probability of occurrence is higher when people use hot water in winter, but it is not ruled out that this situation will also occur when people cook in daily life. However, many people do not know what kind of ointment to use for treatment after being scalded. So, what ointment can heal burns faster?

First, what ointment can heal burns quickly? Clothes such as sweatshirts and stockings should be washed with cold water immediately. Wait until it cools down before you can carefully take off your underwear to avoid tearing the blisters formed by the burn. The purpose of cold water flushing is to relieve pain, reduce exudation and swelling, and thus avoid or reduce blister formation. The flushing time should be about half an hour or more, until you no longer feel pain when you stop flushing. The general water temperature is about 20℃. Avoid using ice water to avoid frostbite. If the burn is on your fingers, you can also take a cold water bath. Cold compresses can be used on areas such as the face that cannot be washed or bathed. After cold water treatment, wipe the wound dry, then apply a thin layer of blue oil hydrocarbon, green ointment or other ointment medicines, and then bandage it appropriately for 1 to 2 days to prevent blisters. But the face can only be exposed and does not need to be bandaged. If blisters are formed, you can use a sterile syringe to suck out the water or cut a small hole to release the water; if the blisters are broken, wipe them dry with a sterile cotton ball to keep them dry and prevent the water from accumulating into lumps. After a burn, avoid applying gentian violet or mercurochrome to avoid affecting the observation of changes in the wound. Large or severe burns should be sent to the hospital immediately after general emergency care at home. The popular belief that people should soak in soy sauce after being scalded is wrong, because soy sauce itself contains a large number of bacteria, which is not conducive to heat dissipation and can easily cause wound infection. Do not apply toothpaste after burns.

Second, in case of skin burns, pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry, and avoid soaking it in water again after rinsing with cold water. The wound will dry after about 2 to 3 days. There is no need to apply medicine at this time. The scab will fall off and heal in about 10 days. If it does not heal by then, you should ask your doctor to see if it is due to a deep burn or infection. Antibiotics are generally not used after burns. If the wound is still red and swollen and the pain increases after 1 to 2 days, there is suspected infection. Treatment should be sought under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unnecessary pain.

What ointment can heal burns quickly? The most important thing is to treat the burn wound. First, shave the hair in the injured area and the vicinity, and cut off the nails that are too long. Wash the healthy skin around the wound with soap and water, and then wipe and disinfect it with 0.1% Sanisol solution or 75% alcohol. The wound surface is cleaned with isotonic saline to remove foreign matter, dirt, etc. Protect small blisters from being damaged. For large blisters, use an empty injection needle to draw out the blister fluid, or cut them at a low position to release the blister fluid. For broken blisters or those with severe contamination, the blister skin should be cut off, the wound surface should be gently rolled open with gauze, covered with a layer of liquid paraffin gauze or a thin layer of vaseline gauze, plus multiple layers of absorbent gauze and cotton pads, and bandaged with a bandage to apply even pressure. Burns can also be treated with bandage therapy, exposure therapy, etc. Burns are often prone to infection, so antibiotics should be used and tetanus antitoxin can also be injected.
