It became known what not to do with burns And. Minister of Health of Ukraine Ulyana Suprun said that a person who received a thermal burn needs adequate first aid, while many common "people's" methods and means either do not bring any positive effect or can harm the victim.

"Do they get lazy with boiling water or touch a hot iron? Do not run to the kitchen for vegetable oil, aloe vera leaves or sour cream. It is important to promptly respond and provide adequate first aid to yourself or your loved ones, "wrote on Facebook on her Facebook page.

She noted that thermal burns are very painful and are often accompanied by symptoms such as redness or flaking of the skin, the appearance of blisters and swelling, the appearance of pallor or charring of the skin. At the same time, the level of pain intensity is not always related to how severe a burn: sometimes even a very serious burn can be relatively painless.

According to her, minor burns can be treated independently at home. The main thing is to avoid getting dirt on the affected area of ??the skin and not to break blisters that can form in this place.
