Burns Due To Exhaust

When you get burns due to exhaust, it must be very painful. In most people, they usually

immediately smear with toothpaste, butter, oil or soy sauce. This method is certainly not allowed.

Ketchup oil will close the skin pores so that the burned skin will be difficult to clean. In addition

to clogging the pores of toothpaste skin that is cold is actually a chemical that is not good for

burns. When burns occur and directly smeared with toothpaste it will increase the degree of

burns. Burns that were only on the surface of the skin will be more profound. Toothpaste that is

considered cold enough it actually burns the skin so that burns more difficult to cure, To

overcome or handle burns that occur due to this muffler can do the following things:

Wash the affected part of the exhaust with cold running water (tap water) approximately 10 to 20

minutes. It aims to reduce the pain that arises and to prevent heat not to burn the skin more

deeply. Do not use ice water, because it will damage the network. Do not break the blistered and

fluid skin. Apply a special ointment for this burn.

Burns Due To Hot Water

The first step you should do for handling this burn include: If the hot water is a part of the body

is not covered with a cloth, quickly flush with water that flows slowly. If the hot water is a

closed body part by the cloth, first flush using water to flow about 10-20 minutes. Then open the

clothes slowly. If it is difficult to undress clothing who attached to the body. Compress with cold

water or rivanol, do not use ice water to compress. Immediately give ointment and cover using

sterile gauze, do not bandage too tight and exceed widespread wound. Or if possible keep the cut

open but must be kept clean so as not to get infected. If burns of more than 20% immediately
take it to a health worker for further treatment. To know what ointments can be used for burns
