Can Guangyouquan Wound Care Ointment treat burns?

This ointment itself has no effect in treating burns. It can only provide auxiliary care for mild, small-area burns and scald wounds. It absolutely cannot replace professional burn treatment drugs.

Last month, Sister Zhang, who runs a noodle shop downstairs, scalded her wrist with boiling water when she was cooking noodles. The wound was as big as a coin and was bright red, with only a few small needle-like blisters. She first flushed it with cold water for 20 minutes and went to the community clinic for treatment. After the doctor disinfected her, she applied this ointment, saying it could help her heal. A protective film was formed on the surface of the wound to isolate water and bacteria, which was like building a temporary protective shelter for the broken skin. It also kept the wound surface moist, reduced the formation of dry scabs, and reduced the probability of discoloration. She applied it for about a week and it was all healed. At that time, everyone said that this ointment could cure burns. As a result, last week a regular customer burned most of his forearm while serving soup. He didn't want to go to the hospital and applied the ointment at home for three days. Instead, the wound oozed pus and became swollen. When he came to the clinic, it was found to be infected. The doctor quickly transferred him to the burn department, and specifically explained the difference between the two to Sister Zhang.

Nowadays, there are two opinions on this product on the Internet. Many people who have experienced mild burns feel that it relieves pain and heals quickly after applying it, so they assume that it has a burn treatment effect, and even recommend it to friends who have suffered burns and scalds. However, clinical doctors and nurses in the burn department basically do not agree with the statement that "it can cure burns". In the final analysis, this is This product is a nursing care product with a mechanical brand name, not a therapeutic drug approved by the state. It does not contain targeted anti-infection or burn repair ingredients and can only be used as a physical barrier for wounds. If it is applied randomly to wounds with moderate to severe burns or ulcers and infections, it will cover up the true condition of the wound and delay regular treatment.

In fact, ordinary people don’t need to worry about how to distinguish. Just remember a simple judgment standard: If the area of ​​the burn or burn does not exceed your fingernails, and it is only red and has small blisters, it is perfectly fine to apply it for care after taking a shower and disinfection.
