Deep second degree burn recovery process

The symptom of deep second-degree burns is a more serious burn, and blisters usually appear. We need to treat the blisters.

We can clean the affected area and then apply a moist burn ointment. Generally, second degree burns take about a week to heal.

Second-degree burns are divided into superficial second-degree burns and deep second-degree burns. The skin lesions caused by these two types of burns are different. The blisters on the surface of the skin lesions of superficial second-degree burns will not fall off easily, there will be redness and swelling around the skin lesions, and the pain is more obvious; while the skin lesions of deep second-degree burns have no blisters or the blisters are easy to fall off, the skin lesions appear red and white, and the pain is not so obvious. Generally, shallow second-degree burns require a relatively short recovery time. During the recovery period, you need to pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound. You can use a moist burn ointment as appropriate. Try to avoid wind and sun exposure to reduce marks or pigmentation, and avoid spicy and other irritating foods.

How long does it take to heal from a second degree burn?

The injured surface of a superficial second-degree burn is not as severe as that of a deep second-degree burn. However, deep second-degree burns heal very slowly and leave quite large scars, so they must be handled and cared for correctly. Deep second-degree burns will take about a month to recover if there is no infection. Most burns will leave scars after healing, but the basic skin function will be preserved and there will be little impact. In daily life, consume more high-protein foods, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid seafood, leeks and other easily-irritating foods, and also take good care of the skin during the nursing period, apply medicine on time during the recovery period, etc.

Burns are something that can easily happen in life, so we recommend that you avoid these accidents. If a burn occurs, you should deal with it promptly to reduce the occurrence of complications. Also, second-degree burns will leave scars, which are also quite obvious. However, as the scabs slowly fall off and new skin grows, the color will begin to fade.
