What to do if essential oil burns the skin

Essential oil burns to the skin are quite common. We can use running cool water to rinse the affected area and cool it down. If blisters appear, we must not break them, otherwise it will affect the infection. We need to clean the affected area, apply burn medicine, then wrap it with gauze, and go to the hospital for wound treatment in time. The key is to pay attention to the hygiene of skin burns.

If blisters have formed on the affected area after a burn, rinse the affected area with running cool water to cool it down. If blisters appear, be careful not to break them. If the blisters have broken, avoid direct contact of the affected area with liquid. At this time, use burn medicine for first aid, then wrap the affected area with gauze and go to the hospital for wound treatment as soon as possible to avoid infection.

After a burn, you should not use any skin care products containing chemical substances, and you should not touch the affected area directly with your hands. You should pay attention to the hygiene of the affected area and keep the burned area dry. If a scab forms on the affected area, you should not tear it off with your hands. You must wait until it falls off automatically. After the scab falls off, the patient can apply cucumber juice, honey, or watermelon peel juice to the affected area to help it recover.

This treatment is not recommended and drug treatment should be standardized. Honey, cucumber and watermelon are rich in vitamins and can repair epidermal cells. In addition, foods rich in vitamin C can enhance the skin's regeneration ability, such as lemons, tomatoes, etc. However, due to the high acidity of these foods, it is not recommended to apply them directly to the affected area. It is best to dilute the juice before applying it to avoid excessive acidity that may irritate the affected area. In addition, natural essential oils also have a good scar removal effect, but the price is relatively high, and patients can choose according to their financial conditions.

Patients should all know how to restore skin after burns. Burns are not trivial matters, especially for those whose skin surface has blisters and damage. They should go to the hospital as soon as possible to treat the wound after the burn. Do not just apply some herbs and leave it at that. If they cannot be disinfected in time, the wound may become infected or even cause tetanus. I hope patients will pay attention to this.
