How long does it take for a burn to recover?

The recovery time for burns is determined by the severity of each person's burns and physical condition. If it is a minor burn, we just need to treat the affected area well, and it will generally return to normal in one or two days. For severe burns, it usually takes more than a month to recover, and after recovery, burn scars will appear on the skin. For example, scalding with boiling water will cause symptoms of skin atrophy.

The face is a very important part of the human body. For patients with facial burns, if the situation is not so serious, you can use burn ointment for external application for recovery treatment. Remember that it is best to use hydrogen peroxide to remove the original ointment on the affected area before applying the ointment. Generally, minor burns can be fully recovered within a week by applying the ointment. If the patient has severe burns, it is recommended that he or she go to a regular dermatology hospital for treatment in a timely manner. Do not blindly follow advertisements, rumors, or folk remedies for treatment. Do not cause eternal regret due to momentary greed. Exposure therapy is generally used for burned areas. After the patient's burned area is cleaned and dried, far-infrared radiation therapy is used.

Once burned, it is very likely to cause great physical and mental harm to the patient's physical and mental health. Physical injuries are temporary, but mental injuries are not permanent. They may affect the patient's daily life for the rest of his life and become an indelible shadow. Many patients may worry about facial scars, fear that they will lose their sight, and feel insecure in their future studies, work, and life after being burned. Therefore, psychological intervention treatment is also essential for burn patients.

Good care during a burn injury can lead to a faster recovery. However, if improper care is given, it may leave serious sequelae and affect the progress of treatment. Of course, keeping the environment clean is also essential, and relatives and friends coming to visit should not be too crowded. I wish all burn victims a speedy recovery!
