How to relieve pain from hot water burns_How to treat hot water burns

Everyone must be particularly careful and attentive when coming into contact with high-temperature objects, because whether it is hot oil or hot water, it will cause burns to the human skin surface, and the treatment methods for burns caused by hot oil and hot water are also different. In winter, everyone likes to scald their feet, so the probability of scalding from hot water is much higher in winter. Hot water will cause a stinging sensation on the skin. How should we relieve the pain at this time?

When boiling water scalds the skin, we should first rinse it with running tap water or soak it in cold water to quickly cool the skin. Never apply ice cubes directly on the wound to avoid injury to the skin tissue.

If the part of the body where you are wearing clothes or shoes and socks is scalded, do not rush to take off the shoes and socks or clothes on the scalded part, otherwise it will cause the skin epidermis to peel off and it will be easy to get infected and delay the disease. You should carefully remove the clothes after fully moistening the wound. You can use scissors to cut off the clothes. If blisters appear, do not break them to protect the wound.

Soaking the scalded area in cold water for about half an hour can relieve the patient's symptoms. If the wound area is large or the patient is young, the soaking time should not be too long. You can choose a clean sheet or gauze to cover the wound. Before covering, it is best to apply a layer of moist burn ointment on the wound surface. If there is no ointment, you can also use cooking oil to prevent the wound from being too dry.

After being scalded by boiling water, you can choose to apply vitamin E to the wound, or choose to apply aloe vera gel to promote wound healing, help the skin grow naturally, and reduce the appearance of scars. If the scar is deep, you can choose laser treatment to remove the scar.

The above is an introduction to how to relieve pain after being scalded by boiling water. In daily life, we must avoid scalding accidents. Once a scald occurs, don’t be overly anxious. In this case, you can choose a more suitable method based on the actual situation according to the content we suggested above. After being scalded, do not let the injury expand again and again, and you should choose a method that only hurts as soon as possible.
