What does low temperature burn mean?

Low temperature burn refers to skin damage caused by contact with low temperature objects or liquids. When our skin comes into contact with substances with extremely low temperature, it will cause freezing and damage of skin tissue. This kind of injury will not only cause pain and discomfort, but also cause blisters, edema, erythema or burning sensation on the skin. Low temperature burns usually occur in cold environment, such as exposure to cold air for a long time in extremely cold weather, or contact with extremely low temperature substances such as ice cubes and liquid nitrogen.

Although low-temperature burn is rare in our daily life, it still has a great impact on our health. Therefore, in a cold environment, you should pay attention to protect your body, especially your skin, from cryogenic burns.

In order to prevent low temperature burns, we can take some measures. Wear clothes suitable for cold weather and minimize exposure to cold air. If you need to work or move in a cold environment for a long time, you can choose to wear gloves, hats and scarves and other warm-keeping products to effectively block the direct damage of low temperature to the skin. When you come into contact with low-temperature substances, you should leave quickly and properly handle the injured part, such as washing with warm water or applying moisturizing cream.

If we are accidentally burned by low temperature, we should take appropriate measures in time. Immediately move the injured part to a warm place, gently wash the wound with warm water, and restore normal blood circulation. You can cover the injured part with a clean cloth and seek medical help and advice from a professional doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may give some drugs or local treatment to promote wound healing and relieve pain.
