A burn is a tissue lesion often caused by contact with a heat source over a period of time. Burns come in different degrees of severity: 1st degree (sunburn-type, with a bright red, painful lesion) & 2nd degree superficial (blistering).
First-degree burns affect the epidermis of the skin, and are characterized by redness, heat and pain for 72 hours, sometimes followed by desquamation. They may give rise to a slight fever, and disappear without after-effects in 4 to 5 days.
Second-degree burns: these can be recognized by the presence of blisters on the skin, or phlyctenes.
Beneath the blister, the skin may turn crimson red (as it remains vascularized) if the burn is superficial. In this case, the burn heals spontaneously within 1 week to 10 days. If the skin has turned white, surgery is required to treat the burn.
Third-degree burns: Burns appear as hard, painless patches, as all nerve endings have been destroyed.
Any burn that has not healed after 21 days must be treated surgically.
In rhinology (nosebleeds), treat nosebleeds using nasal wicks impregnated with HEC ointment.
