Taking care of a baby does require some caution. For example, when bathing a baby, it is important to pay attention to whether hot or cold water should be added first. If not careful, it is easy to scald a baby, and the baby's skin is particularly delicate. So, what should I do if my baby's skin turns red from being scalded by water?
The baby's skin has been scalded red by water, which requires immediate rinsing. Parents should rinse the part of the baby that has been scalded red with water under flowing water. Rinsing has a cooling effect, which lowers the temperature of the hot red area and makes the baby feel more comfortable. Of course, attention should be paid to the flushing time, which should be at least fifteen minutes.
The washing time for the parts of the baby's skin that have been scalded red by water should not be too long. It should be more than fifteen minutes or less than twenty minutes. If the burn is not very serious, after this treatment, the burned area of the baby usually will not have any problems, and it will not be as red as when it was first burned.
After rinsing, parents can also apply some burn ointment to the area of the baby's burn. However, it should be noted that after the baby's skin is scalded red by water, it is important to observe whether there are blisters. If it is only red hot without blisters, there is generally no problem left after rinsing and using burn ointment.
