2.Rinse with cold water: Rinsing the burn area with cold water can quickly reduce the temperature, reduce pain and swelling.
3.Clean the wound: Gently wipe the wound with clean gauze to remove dirt and bacteria from the surface to reduce the risk of infection.
2. Treat wounds scientifically.
1.Bandage the wound: Dress the wound with sterile gauze to reduce the risk of infection. When bandaging, it should be moderately tightened to avoid excessive tightness affecting blood circulation.
2.Change dressings: Change gauze regularly and disinfect wounds to keep them dry and clean.
3.Avoid rubbing: Avoid rubbing around the wound to avoid infection and scar formation.
3. Eat a reasonable diet.
1.Drink plenty of water: Drinking plenty of water can boost metabolism and help wound healing.
2.Eat more protein-rich foods, such as eggs, milk, lean meat, etc., which can provide the nutrients that the body needs and promote wound healing.
3.Avoid spicy and irritating foods: such as chili, ginger, garlic, etc., so as not to irritate the wound and affect the healing.

2.Use scar patches: Scar patches can reduce the tension of the scar and promote softening and healing of the scar.
3.Avoid direct sunlight: Ultraviolet rays from sunlight can stimulate scar tissue growth, so avoid direct sunlight on the scar area.
4.Avoid overstimulation: Avoid excessive rubbing or irritation of the scar site to avoid causing pain or infection.
