What should I do if my legs are burned and blistered?

How to effectively solve the problem of leg burns and blisters is an issue that everyone must pay attention to in life, because this situation is quite common in life. At this time, you must rinse with cold water to cool down, and you cannot use some folk remedies blindly.

1. Rinse with cold water: Once burns 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-inflammatory treatment: Use a cotton swab dipped in light salt water to gently apply it to the burned area, which can have an anti-inflammatory effect.

3. Do not deal with the situation 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. Never use folk remedies: Many people will use "folk remedies" such as applying vinegar, toothpaste, etc. on the wound after burns and scalds. These "folk remedies" have no scientific basis. Not only can they fail to achieve the purpose of treating burns and scalds, but after applying colored solids or liquids, it 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.
