Treatment of children after burns

  Patient: Two months ago, the child was burned by fire and was only treated briefly by cleaning with iodophor and applying burn cream. Now, the scab has fallen off, and the left little finger is deformed on the outside of the left hand and cannot be straightened. I don’t know how to treat the deformity of the little finger, but I don’t know if it will affect the child’s future. Laboratory and examination results: In the previous examination, the doctor said to observe again after a period of time, and if it does not recover, surgery will be performed, but at that time, it was impossible to do anything about it.  Zhu Xiongxiang, burn department, Xijing Hospital: If a child is scarred after a burn, it is best to see a professional doctor at the hospital, because children develop quickly, scarring may affect the child’s development and lead to deformities, scar formation early in the process can use a variety of rehabilitation tools to help reduce deformities, finger deformities over time plastic surgery is not effective.
