Therefore, dr. Kamarul provides a solution to treat early stages of burns when exposed to hot oil and so on. Here are the steps.
1. When you have a burn, stay calm and don’t panic.
2. All accessories such as jewelry, bracelets, rings and others that trigger burns must also be removed immediately, unless they have been attached to the burned skin.
3. The burned skin or part is immediately placed in a room with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, in order to stop and prevent new wounds from forming. Ice or cold water should be avoided and should never be used on skin or burnt areas as they slow wound healing.
4. After that, a wound that has completely healed must not be scratched or take any action that will harm the wound that has healed so that the infection reoccurs. It really should be properly restored.
