How to deal with skin blisters during emergency?

When the skin is scalded, emergency treatment should be carried out in time to avoid more serious consequences of the burn. First, you should immediately rinse it repeatedly with cold water. This can take away the heat from the affected part of the skin, achieve the effect of cooling down and reducing residual heat damage. Then apply light salt water to the affected area in time. Do not use some so-called folk remedies at this time. After simple treatment, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

1. Rinse with cold water:

Once burns or scalds occur, the patient should be quickly removed from the fire or heat source, and the affected area should be immediately rinsed with tap water for 15 to 20 minutes to achieve the effects of cooling down, reducing residual heat damage, relieving swelling and pain, preventing blistering, etc., to avoid damage to deep skin due to excessive temperature.

2. Timely anti-inflammation:

Dip a cotton swab in light salt water and gently apply it to the burned area to help reduce inflammation.

3. Don’t deal with it blindly:

Never take off the patient's clothes immediately, because the skin and clothes will stick together at the moment of burns. Taking off clothes will cause the wound surface to fall off, causing further damage to the injured part. If small blisters appear on the wound, do not break them by yourself to avoid infection of the wound.

4. Do not use folk remedies:

Many people will use "folk remedies" such as applying vinegar, toothpaste, etc. on the wound after being burned or scalded. These "folk remedies" have no scientific basis. Not only can they fail to achieve the purpose of treating burns or scalds, but after applying colored solids or liquids, they will make the wound unclear, causing great inconvenience to wound cleaning and increasing the patient's pain.

After cooling with cold water and other treatments, the patient was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment. During transportation, care should be taken to avoid wound infection. Simple bandages can be made with clean sheets, clothes, etc., and pressure should be avoided. At the same time, care should be taken to prevent bumps and maintain vehicle speed.
