Scar Treatment for Burns

Our skin is the largest organ in our body and helps protect our internal organs from infection and foreign matter as well as retaining fluids and controlling heat exchange. So you can imagine how destructive it is to our survival when we suffer from a skin burn.



Burns leave our body dangerously exposed, and lead to contracture scars. This means that the burned skin will develop a scar that is tight and can seriously limit mobility. No matter how small the burn is, if it's serious it will lead to a contracture scar.



How to treat Burned Skin



In the rush to treat a burn most people don't even know how to properly treat burned skin. There are different ways to treat the varying degrees of burns. If you have a minor burn, you should reduce the heat before it damages the surrounding tissue.



Initial burn care includes the following:



*Control the heat. Place the affected area under lukewarm, running water.



*Cold water can cause more damage.



*Do not put oils, creams or cotton over the burned area. Cotton can stick to the wound while oils and creams can increase the burning.



If the burn is severe, you should maintain the person calm while calling for help as soon as possible. DO NOT place anything on the burn or it may stick to the skin.



Depending on the type and depth of the burn, it may be necessary to use skin grafts or other surgeries to help the affected area heal.
