How to prevent skin peelin after hot water injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Once the skin is damaged the dead skin will peel off and there is no way to prevent it. If you are burned with anything submerse the ares in cold water to cool the are and decrease the damage from the burn.
