Question
What should I do if a few drops of scalding oil splash onto my face while cooking at noon? My facial skin shows red and white patches.
Answer
If it’s a burn, you should immediately apply burn ointment for treatment. Based on your description, it is recommended to apply the burn ointment 2-3 times a day, and the injury usually heals within 3-4 days. Cover the wound with a sterile gauze or towel and secure it. This helps keep the wound clean and reduces the risk of bacterial infection. The skin burned by hot oil is more fragile, so covering it with a sterile gauze can isolate external contamination.
