My friend who suffered burns and is receiving treatment

A nutritionist friend I worked with ;;;

I was working so hard that I got a bad burn on my hand. ;;;

Because of the coronavirus, there were times when one of the cafeteria staff would have to leave the kitchen, so I was pressed for time and while applying, I accidentally got caught in the steam from the big rice cooker... (Think of it as the steam coming out of this huge pot...;;; Ugh~~)

 

 

Oh, I still get goosebumps thinking about it. ...

I've also burned my hand by pouring hot water on it, and I know how painful it is, so I shivered. . The heat in my hand didn't go down no matter how much I soaked it in cold water, and it was so painful and sore for hours;;;

 

 

Even though I applied first aid by quickly soaking it in cold water and applying burn ointment, I was worried that the scar would remain. .

 

I've been visiting the hospital for ten days now. ;;; Still, it seems like we're making progress little by little. .

Yonsei Burn Surgery is a specialized hospital famous for burn treatment. ~~

Luckily, it wasn't far from my friend's house, so it was easy for my friend to get to the hospital. As expected from a burn specialist hospital, they treated me kindly and professionally. Burn treatment is definitely best at a specialist hospital!!!

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But after almost 10 days of diligent treatment, I feel much better~~ I'm so glad that I heard that there won't be any scars once all the scabs fall off.

 

I think that the best treatment method is to visit a specialized medical institution because burns are extremely painful in themselves and there is a possibility of scarring. .

Medical technology has advanced so that burn treatment is faster and less painful than before. , I can't tell you how fortunate I am that many treatment methods have been developed that don't leave scars. .

It's painful and sore just to have a burn on your hand, so I think about how much pain it must be for people who have burns all over their body. .

 

I think burns really happen in a split second ...

Always remember to be alert and careful when touching or handling hot things. .

 

I'll also tell you how to provide first aid for burns. .

 

1. When you get burned, the first thing to do is to cool the affected area with cold water. no see .

Depending on the severity of the burn 10~20 It would be good to soak it in cold water for about a minute. . This prevents the spread of the burn. , First aid to reduce inflammation and pain .

2 . When you get burned, quickly remove any cucumbers or accessories from the burned area. It's better to do it .

3 . If you have blisters from a burn, never pop them yourself. . This is because blisters are created to help the skin recover and protect itself. . Popping a blister increases the risk of bacterial infection and slows healing. . If you accidentally burst a blister, it is best to wash it under running water and cover it with a clean gauze. .

It may be okay if it's a very small burn that can be treated with ointment at home, but if you have a big burn, it's difficult to treat because it takes a long time to wipe off the ointment at the hospital. .

5. please !! please !! Don't put soybean paste on it !!!

Folk remedies work well in some cases, but in Dane, potatoes , soybean paste , There are many rumors that applying soju etc. is good, but if you use poor folk remedies incorrectly, you may end up with skin contamination or 2 It can cause car infections ...

In this wonderful world, let's just get treatment at the hospital.

However, you may not have a bandage at home, and if the burn is severe, the bandage may stick to the wound, so you must make a good decision based on the situation. .
