Burns are damage to the skin resulting from a destructive effect on the skin. An open flame can burn, some types of concentrated chemicals, boiling water, electricity. With radiation contamination, a wound may arise from ionizing radiation.
These injuries are dangerous because damaged skin is highly susceptible to infection. Burns with flame are especially dangerous. Firstly, they can lead to complete decay of tissues, and secondly, toxins resulting from burning are absorbed into the body through damaged skin. They can poison the entire body.
The treatment of such injuries depends entirely on their degree. In the first degree, the lesion is very mild: only a very superficial part of the skin is disturbed, very slightly.
To remove the swelling and redness that appear on the skin with such injuries, to remove unpleasant sensations, soreness, it is recommended to use ointment for burns. Such injuries also go away without treatment, but those who want to play it safe or relieve pain are advised to use Eplan, Ebermin, Rescuer, Healer, and other ointments intended for first aid for minor injuries. All these drugs are good in that they do not contain hormones and antibiotics, they have practically no contraindications.
Ointment for burns, especially lungs, can be prepared independently. There are many folk recipes approved by official medicine. The simplest of them is a composition of finely grated raw potatoes and honey.
A more complex folk recipe recommends mixing unsalted butter, with linseed and adding wax. Warmed up for half an hour over a fire, the mixture is spread on a cotton cloth and applied to the wound under a bandage. This composition can treat more severe injuries.
For more severe burns, which are assigned a second degree, the appearance of bubbles filled with a cloudy liquid is characteristic. Bursting, bubbles expose erosion. These injuries are dangerous because infection penetrates quickly through damaged tissue. In these cases, doctors recommend using an ointment for burns with silver. Silver has a very effective antimicrobial and antibacterial effect, it disinfects wounds, and promotes accelerated healing.
Such an ointment for burns, like Sulfargin, Ebermin, Dermazin cream containing silver preparations, comprehensively affect the wound. Having a strong antimicrobial effect, these drugs create the necessary concentration of therapeutic substances in the wound, do not allow the development of infection. If they are applied on time to damaged tissues in time, then scarring after healing can be avoided.
If the pan was formed from boiling water, then for its treatment, an ointment for burns with boiling water is recommended . It can be Pantenol or Solcoseryl ointment for burns , recommended for disinfecting wounds and accelerating their healing.
Traditional medicine for the treatment of such injuries advises to prepare a preparation from boiled egg yolks, evaporated in a pan. The healing effect, say traditional healers, has a liquid that appears in the process of heating. For one procedure, 15-20 eggs are required.
The next degree of damage, the third, is characterized by blackening of the skin, the appearance of black scabs. The fourth degree is carbonization.
In the process of treatment, doctors can use ointment for burns, antibiotics, other medications, but with first aid, wounds should not be lubricated, wiped or sprinkled with anything. The dressing will have to be applied to clothing, because it is strictly forbidden to separate it from the wound.
Burns are very common household injuries. Therefore, in any home medicine cabinet should be present drugs with which you can provide first aid.
