Treatment of burns

When certain chemicals (alkali, acid, etc.) come into contact with the skin or mucous membrane, a burn occurs, sometimes quite severe; in such situations, not every person knows what to do in case of a chemical burn.

Most burns occur at home, in everyday life. Everyone knows that when handling hot liquids, you need to be extremely careful, but sometimes injuries happen, so it is important to know how to behave in such a situation and what to do if you get burned by hot water, boiling water or steam.

Few people know what to do when you get a burn from an ointment. When the skin starts to "burn" after applying the ointment, there is a burning sensation, and almost everyone rushes to wash it off with water, but you should not do this when using a warming ointment, it is better to use vegetable oil or a greasy cream (Vaseline, baby cream).

What to do if you have an eye burn is the first question that arises in people who have encountered this problem. Let's look at the features of first aid for eye burns, as well as the types of eye burns and methods of treating them.
