Types of Burn
First Degree Burns
Burns that affects the epidermis (top layer) is
called first degree burns and is least severe. The
burned area may be red, slightly swollen and
sensitive to touch but blisters do not form.
Normally, within a few days, the skin heals and the
damaged layer of skin peels off. Sun burn is the
most common causes of first degree burns.
Second Degree Burns
Damaged to the first layer (epidermis) and the
second layer (dermis) is called second degree burns.
It is usually a very painful experience. The second
layer becomes red and covered with large blisters
filled with clear liquid (exudate). Normally after 3
days the pain usually decreases. Most second degree
burns should fully be healed within 14.
Third Degree Burns
The most serious is third
degree burns and this is the deepest type of burns
in which the epidermis, the dermis and the
underlying fat are destroyed. Some times the damage
may extend to the muscle. The area becomes numb,
thickened and discoloured. Normally the healing
would be very slow because the damaged dermis cannot
regenerate itself and new skin can grow only from
the edges of the damaged area.
Treatment
To treat burns effective a product must have the
following functions:
-
it must have analgesic properties i.e. removes
pain
-
it must have antiexudate properties i.e.
preventing exudates (the clear liquid) from
flowing
-
it must have anti-inflammatory properties
-
it must improves blood vascular capillary system
-
it must have excellent anti-biotic effect
-
it must have effective micro-circulation and
tissue regeneration properties to effectively
increase the process of wound healing.
Can dead cells be regenerated? If science cannot
explain, it does not mean it cannot happen. For the
last few thousand years ancient scientists and
modern scientists have been discovering new things.
Up till today, we are still discovering new things.
Perhaps one day science can find out how some
products possess unique rejuvenation properties and
can make dead cells fully regenerate itself.
The method to treat burn is to quickly spray
generously any oilment on the affected area within
15 – 20 seconds (before blisters form) and repeat
for 6 to 7 times at every minute interval. If the
product is holistic then there should not be any
blisters or exudates.
