Question 2

i got my skin burns with a hot wax ..its a 3rd degree burn......plz suggest me some medicine or a home remedie medicine .....?

Accepted Answer

SImple basic care: Burns are response of the tissues to injury from heat. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to promote healing. Depth determines care.  Use of ice worsens already injured skin. Cool water soaks help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily/gently helps, keep it covered.

Accepted Answer

: Please go and see your family doctor. You may need further testing if your exam warrants. Just from the symptoms it seems it may be coming from your neck

Question 9

what happens to the skin during burns?

Accepted Answer

An injury: The seriousness of the injury depends on how deeply the skin is injured: a superficial burn is like a sunburn and will generally heal quickly, perhaps with a little peeling. A full thickness burn extends through the entire thickness of the skin and will not heal on its own except by scarring and contracture. Between these two extremes are partial thickness burns-some heal, some don't.

Question 10

my skin feels like its on fire and burning internally.

Accepted Answer

Neurologic: If there is no obvious skin lesion or flushing  on the skin surface, the problem may be neurologic and a neurology consult may be necessary. In the meanwhile, try apply a moisturizer on your skin twice daily with at least one application &lt;3 minutes after bathing to see if this helps.
