Frostbite is a common manifestation of skin frostbite. If a baby develops frostbite, it must be treated promptly because if it continues to develop, the baby will cry incessantly and affect their development. So, what should I wipe for frostbite on my baby's face?
If a baby has frostbite on their face, it should be treated promptly because frostbite can cause itching and sometimes accompanied by pain, and the baby may feel irritable and cry frequently. After developing frostbite, hot water can be used for warm compress, as it can improve local blood circulation. First, put 38-42 degrees Celsius warm water into a basin, and then use a towel to apply hot compress three times a day until the temperature of the frostbite area returns to the normal temperature of the skin. It is advisable to wait until the skin turns red.
In addition, iodine, turpentine, and frostbite ointment can be applied externally. After suffering from frostbite, do not use hot water or fire to apply, as this can easily cause local skin rupture and inflammation. Use chilblain cream or traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations externally for 1-2 times every day, 45 minutes each time, lasting for a week to two weeks, and then slowly recover.
If the chilblain has already ruptured and bleeding, it should be washed with hydrogen peroxide before applying ointment, as this can kill bacteria on the surface skin. In cases of severe pain and infection, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, otherwise bacteria may enter the body and cause bacteremia.
