There are many types of burns and degrees and vary depending on the depth of the burn and its area and cause, but in this article we highlight the burns and how to deal with them.
Common mistakes in the treatment of burns use household recipes such as egg whites, tomato juice or toothpaste. We would like to point out that these recipes may be harmful and cause skin infections, and may aggravate the problem of burning instead of treating them.
Here are the three degrees of burns and ways to deal with them:
The first degree is burns that cause minor pain and redness of the skin, without a bubble in the skin. It is recommended that the patient pour cold water on the burning place until the pain is gone.
The second degree is the burns that cause a bubble on the skin and severe pain, advised to pour cold water to ease the pain, and not try to open the bubble and slit because it may cause skin infections, and advised to visit the doctor’s clinic to assess the burning and give the appropriate ointment .
The third degree is the burns that penetrate the layers of the skin until it reaches the muscles and bones, and the skin is open and the structure is tilted to the black, the injured must be immediately assisted to the hospital to provide the necessary treatment.
The causes of burns may be due to exposure to liquids or hot gases, and may be caused by exposure to chemicals or direct exposure to fire flames or burns caused by electricity, and in all cases the burner may lead to one of the three degrees of burns previously reported.
