Step 1: Evaluate the grade of the burn 1. 1st degree burns are the most common, such as burns caused by brief contact with a heat source such as a light bulb, or sunburns from the hot sun. The skin becomes red, mildly swollen, and perhaps slightly painful. 1st degree burns only affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. A 1st degree burn is the most typical mild burn. There is no need to go to the hospital for large 1st degree burns such as sunburns, and treatment can be done at home. 2. Unlike 1st degree burns, which only have “redness, swelling, heat, and pain,” 2nd degree burns have additional scarring and blistering, and are more painful. Exposure to high-temperature heat sources (such as boiling water) and excessive sun exposure can cause 2nd-degree burns, injuring both the epidermis and dermis of the skin. All 2nd degree burns except those on the hands, feet, groin and face can be treated as 1st degree burns. If the width of the 2nd degree burn exceeds 3 inches (about 7.5 cm), hospitalization is recommended. 3. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can result in 3rd degree burns, which are the most serious class of burns and require immediate medical attention. 3rd degree burns involve the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues of the skin, resulting in leathery, black or white scars, and in severe cases, deeper tissues, such as muscle, fat, and bone, can be damaged. Third-degree burns are typically severe burns that require immediate medical treatment. 4. Frostbite is caused when the skin is exposed to cold temperatures such as snow and ice for a long time, and the affected area is bright red, white or black. A strong burning sensation occurs when the skin is rewarmed. Frostbite patients can be treated in accordance with most severe burns, and seek medical help in a timely manner. 5, when the skin comes into contact with toxic, harmful and corrosive chemical reagents, can cause chemical burns, the affected area is red patches, rashes, blisters, ulcers and other symptoms. Chemical burns typically cause severe pain, and systemic symptoms of toxicity, such as nausea and fainting. Chemical burns are a form of severe burns and require prompt admission to a hospital after the patient has contacted a poison control center. Step 2: Treatment of mild burns 1. Cold water rinsing: The affected area should be rinsed with cold water for 10-15 minutes until there is no burning sensation on the skin. The water temperature should not be too low, otherwise it will cause damage to the skin around the affected area. 2, ice pack cold compress: if you can not use cold water rinse, will be wrapped in ice packs of towels on the affected area is also an option. Can not directly touch the ice bag to the affected area, which will cause secondary damage to the skin. 3.Taking painkillers: You can take OTC painkillers, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, naproxen, as appropriate. If the pain and swelling are not relieved after a few hours, the dosage needs to be changed. Aspirin should not be taken by teenagers, children and those who have first recovered from the flu or chicken pox. 4.Burned parts coated with egg yolk oil: egg yolk oil is fried from the yolk of the egg oil, also known as chicken fish, phoenix oil, etc., 2 times / day, until the wound is healed. In the management of 2nd or 3rd degree burns, egg yolk oil therapy is effective in promoting epithelial regeneration without scarring. Egg yolk oil contains many important nutritional factors, including essential omega-3 fatty acids (e.g. docosahexaenoic acid), antioxidants (e.g. lutein, zeaxanthin) and immunoglobulins. These factors have been shown to promote rapid wound healing in rats. The combination of egg yolk oil and silver sulfadiazine can have a slow release effect. 5, salt water cleaning: every hour with salt water to wash the burn area can keep the wound clean, effectively promote healing. Recipe for 1 tablespoon of table salt dissolved in 8 ounces (about 200mL) of warm water, cooled to room temperature, and then slowly rinse the affected area. 6, the wonderful use of black tea: will be several soaked black tea bags or wrapped in a towel soaked tea placed in the affected area, black tea contains tannins can be effective in releasing the heat of the deep parts of the burn, accelerate the healing process, relieve some of the pain. 7, wonderful use of aloe vera juice: aloe vera secretion of transparent gel can be used to treat burns. Fresh or drugstore-bought aloe vera gel directly on the affected area evenly coated 1 layer, do not apply repeatedly. 8, wonderful use of vinegar: vinegar has a slight antiseptic effect, very effective in dealing with mild burns. 1:1 mixed vinegar and water, and then wash the affected area, 1 time / h. 9, milk compress: milk (especially skim milk) is rich in special enzymes, can effectively reduce pain, promote wound healing. The affected area will be immersed in milk, last 15min; or towel in the milk after wetting the affected area. Rinse the affected area with water after applying the compress. 10, skillful use of honey: honey in the treatment of burns in the role of sterilization and maintain skin moisture. Apply a thin layer evenly in the burn area, or apply honey on the gauze after wrapped in the burn area. All of the above 6-10 treatments are when the epidermis is not broken, in the case of broken epidermis and blisters, these things are not sterilized and can easily cause infection of the wound! Around us in the encounter burns are also a variety of things, each with their own way of doing things: there are toothpaste, there are cinder blocks, there is laundry detergent, there is soy sauce, there are powdered traditional Chinese medicine and so on. Step 3: severe burns treatment 1, immediately call the emergency number: do not deal with severe burns at home, should immediately receive professional medical treatment. 2, do not peel off any clothing from the burned area: the affected area may be covered with clothing, but do not try to remove or move it, as it may cause the area to bleed in the process. However, if the clothing is not tightly adhered to the skin, jewelry and clothing around the burned area should be removed to avoid subsequent adhesion to the burned area.$ 3. Immediately cool the burned area: Immediately apply a cold, wet towel to the affected area, which will cool it down to some extent. However, ice should not be used and the burned area should not be immersed in cold water for a long time. This will lead to hypothermia, which reduces the resistance of the skin and aggravates the burn damage. 4, vigilant patient shock symptoms: always monitor the patient shock signs, such as weakness, rapid heartbeat, cold and wet skin, disorientation, blurred consciousness, nausea, hyperactivity. If the patient shows signs of shock, the affected limbs should be appropriately elevated to prevent hypovolemic shock. 5, chemical burn treatment: remove all residual chemical irritants, remove any jewelry that may cause swelling, rinse with plenty of cold water or ice packs, and wait for the doctor to rescue. 6, gauze wrapped burns: whether a few degrees of burns, with gauze loosely wrapped burns to prevent potential infection, should not use cotton or other open wounds with the affected area can occur sticky dressing. Step 4: Avoid secondary damage from burns 1. It is not advisable to apply ice directly to the affected area, as the excessive temperature difference can bring about secondary damage. Rinse with cold water only, or use a towel wrapped in ice and then cold compress can be. 2, the affected area should not be in contact with cream, egg whites and butter, these substances are not suitable for the release of heat in the affected area. Contact will slow down the healing process and increase the pain in the affected area. When the affected area without blisters and ulcers, can be cleaned with detergent around the burn. 3, do not squeeze the affected area. Avoid direct finger contact with the affected skin to minimize the chance of bacterial infection. For 2nd and 3rd degree burns, it is forbidden to squeeze the blisters and tear off the epidermis around the affected area.
