What to do if my face becomes red and painful from welding

During the welding process, if the welders fail to take adequate protective measures, or if some people are curious about the welding process and stick their heads out to watch, they may get burned on the face or eyes, or even experience redness and pain. In order to relieve pain and further control injuries, relevant personnel must learn how to deal with electric welding burns. Below, we will introduce to you the treatment methods, medication regimen and prevention methods of electric welding burns!

1. Treatment of skin burns caused by electric welding:

1. The skin burns will peel off after three or four days. Do not peel it off with your hands at this time. Let it fall off on its own.

, and during the peeling process, mix a little milk with water, and apply it on the skin with cotton. This will help the skin to adjust itself, relieve pain and accelerate skin recovery.

2. If your face is injured by electric welding, you should apply fresh milk to the radiated area and allow the milk to be slowly absorbed by the injured area. Repeat several times. Your face will not peel or hurt the next day. Remember, never wash your face with cold water, use hot water, otherwise your face will peel.

3. Electric welding burns are arc burns and fall into the category of burns. If your face is itchy and painful, first try to avoid getting burned again. Second, you can use ointments for treating burns. Third, try to protect your skin from damage to avoid infection. If it is damaged, antibiotics should be taken routinely.

4. Electric welding burns to the skin are a very serious symptom

Electric welding is very lethal and can cause physical discomfort. Generally, skin burns from electric welding must be treated, and the condition will only improve with proper care.

5. In case of skin burns caused by electric welding, it is best to first gently apply aloe vera to the affected area, then go to the hospital's dermatology department for examination, and then receive professional treatment. Skin burns caused by electric welding must not be exposed to water. It is best to disinfect it with alcohol first, and then use ointment for treatment to avoid infection. The wound must be kept clean and not exposed to water.

2. What medicine is good for electric welding burns?

It is best to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat burns and scalds, as the treatment effect is better than western medicine. Among them, water-based Chinese medicine preparations are recommended. Compared with traditional ointment medicines, it has obvious advantages: 1. Dressing changes are simple and less painful. Because ointments are used, when changing the dressing, you need to scrape/wash off the remaining ointment before reapplying the medicine. 2. It is helpful to observe the changes on the wound surface. The drug film formed by water-based drugs on the wound surface is almost thicknessless, while ointment drugs need to be applied thicker, which will interfere with the observation of changes on the wound surface. For children with burns or adults with facial burns, water-based medicines are a better choice.

3. How to prevent electric welding burns

Workers engaged in electric welding are forbidden to perform welding operations without wearing protective glasses to avoid unnecessary accidents. The electric light generated during electric welding can be harmful to the eyes, so welders are very careful to wear eye masks when working. There is another type of pollution that is often overlooked and should be prevented by taking measures, and that is welding fume pollution.
