Will burn scars on children grow bigger?

Because children are more naughty, they are bound to get burned. Some children have scars due to severe burns. So, will children’s burn scars grow bigger? It is understood that the scars left on children after being burned will become larger as they grow older, so parents must not ignore this point. During the recovery process of burns, you can choose to apply medicines that can lighten the scars, and massage the scar area more often, which will help the scars disappear and fade.

Next, let’s see how to deal with children who are scalded?

Children often get scalded because boiling water is poured into their cuffs. The hot water flows down the sleeves or collar of the child and may even get onto the abdomen and legs.

At this time, parents are very anxious and worried. They want to take off their children's clothes immediately and check their injuries. When taking off their children's clothes, they must be careful not to tear off their clothes directly. This can easily damage the child's burned skin, cause the child's wound to ulcerate and become infected, or leave scars. So the correct way to do it at this time is to cut the child's clothes with scissors.

What you need to do next is to immediately cool down the child's scalded skin. You can rinse it with running cold water. The longer the rinsing time, the better, at least half an hour. You can also add a small amount of salt to the cold water to rinse the child's scalded skin, which can disinfect the wound.

After the temperature has dropped, parents should be careful not to apply burn ointment to their children without permission. What they should do at this time is to find clean gauze or clean clothes to cover the child's wound and immediately send the child to the hospital for treatment.
