But besides this, there are also chemical burns, as well as those received from an electric shock. It must be remembered that there are 4 degrees of damage to the skin and mucous membranes, depending on this, the duration and the process of healing the wound received vary.
First Aid
Even before treating a burn, after the injury itself, the victim must be given first aid. The first thing you need is to relieve the pain. To do this, you can substitute the charred place under a stream of cold water. The pain will greatly decrease after 10 minutes. Next, a sterile bandage should be applied to the wound. It is better to make it from bandages. And only after that, either proceed with treatment, or show the injured doctor. You also need to know how to treat a chemical burn. To do this, you need a 2% solution of drinking soda (if the burn is acidic) and lemon juice (if the burn is alkaline). It should be noted that the burn obtained from quicklime is strictly forbidden to be washed with water, because. this can make things worse.

You can use this tool until the moment of complete healing. What else to treat a burn? To do this, you can prepare egg oil, which also accelerates the healing process of the affected skin. To do this, you need to boil 15 eggs, take the yolks and evaporate them until you get an oilystructure. Then all this is applied to the wound, the pain subsides, and the healing process begins. There is another effective way to treat a burn on the skin. To do this, you need to take a synthomycin emulsion and five ampoules of the Novocain preparation. It's all mixed up. The ointment is applied to the wound, but it does not need to be covered with bandages, otherwise the villi will dry out to the tissue, and the healing process will take a long time.
