What should I do after scalding?

A drunken man dozed off on the road, causing extensive skin burns and facing skin grafting surgery.

High temperature weather is the high incidence season for children's burns. Attending physician Yu Bing said that some burns can actually be avoided if they are treated in time.

After some children were scalded by hot water, parents did not take off the clothes attached to their bodies, but used the method of blowing fans or naturally drying them. They want to blow the burnt place cool before taking off their clothes.

In fact, this practice, just like "boiling frogs in warm water", prevents the skin from burning and reddening, and puts clothes on the skin, but increases its temperature. It will cause low temperature burns over time.

Yu Bing reminded that children should be kept away from electric heaters, thermos bottles, stoves, soup pots and other dangerous goods to prevent accidents. After being burned, it's better to cut off your clothes instead of taking them off. Wash the scald with cold water in time, wrap the wound with clean cotton cloth, and do not apply vegetable oil or other grease to the wound. If the injury is serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

If someone is burned, please go to the hospital as soon as possible.
