Do not leave burns untreated; be sure to seek treatment.

Even minor burns should be treated properly.

 

The reason burns are frightening varies by area, but it's the scars.

On Saturday, I invited guests, used the oven, took out the food, and was about to close it, but...
I just lightly brushed the oven's metal, quickly soaked it in cold water and kept it there for 30 minutes, so I thought it was okay.
On Sunday, when I went to my friend's house, my friend applied burn ointment and told me that this is not how it should be done.

So, I went directly to Hwacheon Hospital, which I knew through an introduction from someone nearby.

It's a relief that it's this much.
I'm glad it's this much.

First day of burn treatment
If there are blisters, it is a second-degree burn.
The back of the hand has thin skin, and the dermis has been damaged.
Treatment required for more than 3 weeks

The treatment process is lengthy, but the reason for considering treatment is to prevent scars from remaining on the back of the hand.

In case the child suddenly sustains a burn, the mother is prepared for emergency suturing surgery.

You must always be aware of it together with the plastic surgery department if necessary.
What if I cannot remember all of this?
Please don't just stay there; be sure to call 119 and seek consultation.

I always respond immediately to the hospital, to the point of overreacting and taking them there.
Still, there were times when I felt regret.
A scar eventually remained on my child's chin.
They also cover the gauze like this during treatment.
The reason is to prevent the burned area from being exposed to bacteria even for a moment.

 

 

 

The swollen blister is gently wiped away with gauze.
Never touch the blisters when treating at home.
Risk of bacterial infection!!!
When it can be perfectly handled at the hospital,
We remove the blister and treat it.
Received outpatient treatment daily for more than a week.

Blisters are caused by second-degree burns.

I was more afraid of getting a scar.

Burn treatment process

Mild: Patient transfer > Acute burn treatment > Outpatient > Medical care and burn treatment > Social reintegration
Severe: Patient transfer > Acute burn treatment > Admission > Admission tests > Burn ward & ICU > Reconstructive surgery > Social reintegration

 

Non-surgical treatment

The most important aspect of burn treatment is removing the cause of the heat injury and preventing further damage.
It is important to appropriately use burn ointments and treatment materials according to the changing condition of the skin after skin damage.

In case of burns
Immediately cool the burn with cold water at room temperature.
The burn area is cooled for more than 30 minutes.
Home remedies such as ice, soju, and soybean paste can cause infections or tissue damage.
In cases of extensive burns, the heat should be cooled for at least 20 minutes depending on the patient's condition.
Blister of the affected area
Do not peel off the blisters on the affected area.
If bacterial infection occurs after peeling, it can cause burn scars.



Burns of over 3rd degree
Do not immerse burns above -3 degrees in cold water.
There is a risk of infection.
(When fully ripened to red or when blisters have formed, it is stage 2.)

 

 

 

After visiting the hospital
The treatment is conducted based on the specialist’s judgment.
Saline solution and cooling process are used to remove foreign substances and soothe the skin.
After assessing the burn condition, appropriate burn treatment is administered using burn ointments and burn treatment materials.

Water must never enter.
He repeatedly emphasized and wrapped the bandage.
Please check to ensure there are no areas of discomfort and take care of them.
They did a thorough and excellent job.
And they also made gloves with a flexible large band.

All medicines should be placed in a bag.
They took care of it.
They told me to bring it next time I visit the outpatient clinic.

 

Even a slight blister can cause a second-degree burn with severe tissue damage.

The medical expenses were covered by insurance, so I didn't have to worry about hospital costs.

I have been receiving treatment for over two weeks, and now a faint scar remains.

Still, if I hadn't received treatment, I think I would have been left with an unsightly scar.

 

Burn hospitals tend to avoid small burns due to the burden of medical expenses.

The sunny hospital is recommended to go to unconditionally because it applies to actual expenses, and I am introducing it to those around me.
