Question
How should one handle the treatment of a one-year-old baby’s hand skin after it has been burned and peeled?
Answer
Firstly, the skin after a burn should not be peeled off, as the skin acts as a protective layer and peeling it can easily lead to infection. Secondly, topical medications can be used to prevent infection, such as Mupirocin Ointment and Bactroban Ointment, which have good antibacterial effects. Additionally, using solutions containing bovine collagen fibroblast growth factor can promote wound growth and healing. Finally, after the wound has healed, scar prevention cream can be applied externally to prevent scar formation. The treatment principles for burns and skin breakdown are to avoid infection and promote wound repair.
