How to deal with burns on fingers?
After accidentally scalding the fingers, it is important to promptly cool down the affected area, either by rinsing with running tap water or soaking in cold water for at least 15-30 minutes, which can help reduce temperature and relieve pain. Subsequently, the treatment depends on the severity of the burn. For mild burns where the skin appears just reddened, one can disinfect with iodophor and apply safflower oil, which can be used three times a day to facilitate recovery. If the scalding leads to blisters or skin breakdown, after cleaning and disinfecting the wound, one can apply burn ointment or recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel to promote healing. During the recovery period, the patient should pay attention to their diet, avoid spicy and irritating food, and keep the affected limb clean.
