How to deal with blisters caused by scalding the skin

Life safety has always been an issue of particular concern to us, but scalds happen every day. When the skin is scalded by hot water, blisters will appear after a while. For people who are not familiar with this, they may accidentally puncture the blisters, which is a very wrong practice. So how do you deal with blisters caused by burns on the skin? First of all, when the skin is burned, be sure to rinse the affected area with plenty of cold water, or apply ice compresses, and then seek medical treatment in time.

1. First rinse the injured area with cold water, and then soak the injured area in cold water for half an hour. Generally speaking, the earlier the soaking time and the lower the water temperature (not lower than 5℃ to avoid frostbite), the better the effect. However, if the injured area has blistered and broken, do not soak it to prevent infection.

2. Gently apply light salt water to the burned area to reduce inflammation.

3. Apply soy sauce, honey, lard, dog oil or ginger juice on the injured area, which will be effective (but this should not be done if it is a serious burn).

7. For mild burns, you can roast the dry tea residue over fire until it is slightly charred, then grind it into powder, mix it with vegetable oil to make a paste, and apply it to the injured area to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

8. After the skin of hands and feet is scalded, immediately pour alcohol into a basin or bucket and immerse the injured area in the alcohol. This will relieve pain, reduce redness and prevent blistering. If soaked for 1 to 2 hours, the scalded skin will gradually return to normal. If the injured area is not in a location that is easily soaked, you can soak a piece of cotton wool in white wine, take it out and apply it to the injured area, and pour wine on the cotton wool at any time to prevent it from drying out. Good results can be achieved after several hours.

9. After the skin is scalded by oil or boiling water, you can apply wind oil, elixir or vegetable oil (such as sesame oil) directly to the wound. If the skin is not broken, the pain can usually be relieved in 5 minutes.

10. Apply chloramphenicol eye ointment to the injured area, which will reduce swelling and relieve pain after a few minutes.
