Dimexide is a medicament that is used very often at home, for carrying out medical and cosmetic procedures (compresses, lotions, masks, etc.). In addition to a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic action, this drug serves as a "conductor" for other medicinal and nutritional ingredients that need to be delivered through the skin. Like any other drug, Dimexide requires accuracy in the application and careful follow-up instructions, and especially with regard to the time of contact with the skin and the proportions of dilution of the solution. So, the use of concentrated Dimexide or too long its effect on the skin can cause a chemical burn. Also, the occurrence of a burn with the use of this drug can be promoted by intensive rubbing of the latter into the skin. What to do and what to treat, if there is a skin burn from Dimexide, we will consider further.
Treatment of burns from Dimexide
The first help in getting a burn with Dimexide is in the following actions:
- Rinse affected area under cool running water for at least 10 minutes.
- Apply a leaky and non-dry dry sterile bandage to the burned area.
If the burn is shallow, you can cope with it at home. To do this, you can use drugs that have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and regenerative effects:
- Panthenol;
- Pantestine;
- Miramistin;
- Solcoseryl;
- balm Rescuer;
- Actovegin ;
- Levosin;
- Olazole.
You can also use special healing bandages (Branolide, Voskopran, Hydrosorb). At the stage of healing the burn effectively lubricate the affected skin with sea buckthorn or linseed oil for the speedy restoration of tissues (in no case can it be applied oil based on fresh burns). If severe burns occur, seek medical attention.
