Question
Unfortunately, the back of my left hand has suffered a burn, initially appearing as blisters, which then burst, causing damage to the epidermis. In this situation, how should I properly handle it to avoid the wound from worsening?
Answer
Burns are one of the common accidental injuries in daily life. When a second-degree burn leads to blister formation and subsequently bursts for various reasons, causing damage to the epidermis, the primary task is to maintain the cleanliness of the wound. Use iodine tincture to disinfect the wound, removing any necrotic or infected tissue. Next, apply red mold or Baiduyang ointment to the wound and cover it with sterile dressing for protection. Additionally, regular medication changes should be made while closely observing the healing process of the wound.
