In people's daily lives, many people will get scalded. Blisters on the hands caused by oil burns are a very common one. When this happens, it has a great impact on people's health and will have a great impact on work, study and so on. Therefore, when faced with this situation, people need to take measures to deal with it as soon as possible. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if you get a blister on your hand caused by oil burns.

How to deal with oil burns on hands

1. No foaming treatment

First of all, if you have just been scalded by oil and the area is not large and not serious, blisters will not appear immediately, but the skin will turn red and painful. At this time, do not rub it with your hands, otherwise blisters will appear soon. You should rinse it immediately with cold water to wash away the oil stains and bacteria. At the same time, get a basin of water and soak the scalded area in cold water for at least half an hour immediately after rinsing. The sooner the soaking time and the colder the water, the better the effect. In addition, if you use alcohol or salt water instead, the effect will be better. This will quickly reduce inflammation, redness and pain, and it is not easy to blister. If you only rinse for a few minutes, blisters will appear immediately afterwards, so be sure to soak it for at least half an hour. If it is inconvenient to soak the burned area, you can soak cotton wool in alcohol or white wine and apply it to the burned area, and keep sprinkling alcohol or white wine on it. Do not let it dry. Generally, it can relieve pain after 1-2 hours without blistering.

2. Post-foaming treatment

If blisters have formed after the burn, it will be troublesome. First, you should gently rinse with cold water to keep the sore surface clean. Never apply toothpaste or soy sauce, as that will only cause bacterial infection of the wound. You should use a sterilized needle to puncture the edge of the blister and release the water inside to prevent the water from festering and becoming inflamed. Then apply ointment and bandage it. It will usually form a scab in a few days. Avoid contact with water during these days to prevent infection.

3. Post-treatment of broken skin

If the skin has been broken after a burn, do not touch water, and do not apply folk remedies such as toothpaste, soy sauce, etc. Otherwise, it will easily become infected. You should immediately apply anti-inflammatory burn ointment and then bandage it. If it is summer, do not bandage it. Generally, a scab will form in a few days. If the burn area is too large, do not treat it to avoid affecting the doctor's judgment and treatment. You should seek medical treatment immediately.
