What can pregnant women apply on burns and blisters?

Pregnancy is a relatively difficult process, and pregnant women should pay special attention throughout the pregnancy and must prevent illness, because many medicines cannot be taken after illness, which will affect the fetus. But some pregnant women still get burned accidentally. So what medicine can pregnant women apply when they get burned and blisters? Strictly speaking, medicines cannot be used. If the condition is not very serious, you can apply it with toothpaste. But if it is too severe, it is best to seek medical advice.

First of all, pregnant women should stay away from heat sources as soon as possible. If the burned area is covered with clothing, cut it open immediately with scissors. Next, the burned area should be immediately rinsed or soaked in clean cold water until the pain is significantly reduced after leaving the cold water. The purpose of doing this is to quickly dissipate heat from the burned area and reduce further spread of the infiltrated skin, thereby relieving pain and preventing scars from forming on the burned area.

After completing this step, it is important to remember that you must not use household soy sauce, toothpaste, etc. to apply to the burned area to cause secondary damage. In addition, colored liquids such as mercurochrome and gentian violet should not be applied to the burned parts. If the condition is serious and the patient is sent to the hospital, this will affect the doctor's judgment of the injured part. The burned area can be smeared with comfrey oil, badger oil or moist burn ointment. These medicines are all Chinese patent medicines and have no effect on the baby. Blisters can be punctured with a sterilized needle and covered with clean clothing to prevent secondary injury.

Burns and blisters on the skin are considered second-degree burns. After a burn occurs, you must not massage or squeeze the burned skin, or engage in other behaviors that cause serious secondary injuries. Pregnant women must take care to prevent burns during pregnancy, as this directly affects the patient's treatment and healing of skin injuries. This is also something we need to pay attention to in our daily lives. If the burns are serious, we must go to the nearest hospital for treatment.
