Question

How should I treat a mild second-degree scald burn?

Answer

For patients with mild to moderate second-degree scald burns, covering an area from the chin to the navel around the entire body, amounting to 18% of the body, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid secondary infections. Treatment may take some time, and in severe cases, skin graft surgery may be required. During treatment, both treatment and observation are necessary, especially as the chin area may cause scarring.
