Ms. Zou, who lives in Shenzhen, specially purchased moxa sticks for moxibustion in order to treat the abdominal pain during her period. One day, she was doing moxibustion while working, and because she was too focused on her work, she found that two blisters had burned on her stomach more than an hour later. At that time, she also treated it at home, but unexpectedly, more than two months have passed, but the wound has not been healing.
Tang Weiping, head nurse of the Second Ward of General Surgery of Changhang General Hospital and head of the wound ostomy clinic: "Ms. Zou disinfected the wound with active iodine at home, and also bought some medicine for burns in the pharmacy, so that after a week of treatment at home, the blisters on the wound were broken, forming a wound of about 10 centimeters. ”
However, more than two months have passed, and the wound on Ms. Zou's stomach has not healed, and she can't sit still, so she rushed to Wuhan for medical treatment under the introduction of a friend.
Nurse Tang introduced that low-temperature burns not only hurt the epidermis of the skin, but also hurt the dermis layer of the skin, even fat and muscle tissue, if not properly treated or not timely.
In response to the low-temperature burns, Ms. Zou took the wrong way to deal with them, which caused the injuries to become more and more serious.
01
Beware of low temperature burns in winter
In fact, in winter, low-temperature scalds are common, and many diabetic foot patients, long-term bedridden elderly, etc., are prone to low-temperature burns when using electric blankets, hot water bottles, and warm babies to keep warm.
The doctor explained that if the temperature of 70°C lasts for 1 minute, the skin may be burned, and when the temperature of nearly 60°C lasts for more than 5 minutes, it will also cause low-temperature burns. The temperature is low, and as long as the contact time is long enough, it can burn people. "If the skin is red, black, or broken after the heating operation, you should go to the burn department of a regular hospital for treatment in time. ”
02
What items are easy to cause
"Cryogenic burns"?
It is understood that heating equipment such as hot water bottles, plug-in electric heaters, "warm babies", heating lamps, as well as overheated electronic devices and "power banks", etc., may cause "low-temperature burns" through direct contact or irradiation.
Nurse Tong reminded the public that once there is local erythema, or the erythema does not subside for a long time, it is recommended that the patient immediately rinse with cold water at home for 15 to 20 minutes, and then seek medical attention in time and consult relevant professionals for treatment immediately.
