Every summer, patients with severe sunburn come to see a doctor, mainly men who do not pay attention to sun protection and children with delicate skin. In July of this year, the Burn and Wound Department admitted a 10-year-old patient. The parent took the child to Shanghai the day before, and they did not do a good job of sun protection. After a long time of playing in the water, the child’s upper body was red from the sun. At first, I didn’t feel any special feeling, but the next day I had big blisters, and my body was sore and itchy.
“The skin is our largest organ. After a large area of sunburn, the amount of exudation increases sharply. If the fluid is not replenished in time, it is easy to cause shock and endanger life.” Therefore, for large areas of sunburn Injury patients also need debridement and drainage, dressing with medicine, appropriate fluid replacement and dietary adjustment.
In addition, this season is also prone to children being scalded by hot porridge, hot soup and hot water. Children’s skin is relatively thin, the sweat glands are not fully developed, and they are more mobile, and they are more likely to knock over the above items and get burned.
