Treatment

In some texts, we find the description of fourth-degree burns, which are those that involve the entire thickness of the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscle, and even bone. They are characterized by being painless as the nerve roots are completely damaged, and they lead to serious complications, including death. The most important thing is to learn to observe the burned areas in order to calculate the extent of the damage and thus put together a plan of action. It is rare to see a type 4 burn unless it is from a serious accident or fire. Patients with this type of burn require urgent hospital care.

There are many natural therapies and treatments for burns and scalds. Some are quite effective, and others are unusual and dangerous (such as those who use urine or other body fluids from themselves or animals, which can cause a lot of contamination). Egg whites over second degree burns are effective. I have seen this product stop the process and improve the burning sensation. I do not recommend applying any product that is not for the skin unless it is absolutely necessary. However, let’s avoid applying butter or toothpaste. The process that is damaging the tissue must be stopped as soon as possible. Thus, if it is a fire or chemical burn, the burned surface must be placed under running water for at least 20 minutes. The water should not be ice cold.
