Her hand has beautiful, baby soft, pink skin. What a miracle our bodies are! We'll be taking good care of her new skin by moisturizing and massaging three times daily for the next couple of months. A good news ending to a difficult summer. She'll be wearing a cut up sock to protect that delicate new skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns/page/2#post-1840393 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 05:55:13 +0000 Barbara Diane 1840393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very late to the thread, but I'm glad to hear that she won't need surgery and is almost done with her burn unit visits. So sorry she (and you) went through this.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns/page/2#post-1838921 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 17:01:33 +0000 kerry 1838921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just got back from the Burn Unit. I can't say enough great things about all the people who work there. Bless them - it takes a special person to work with kids in their time of trauma and need.</p> <p>DD's burn is mostly healed! But she does have one small spot that needs some more time so she has on one more dressing. Hopefully when we go back Tuesday, that'll be it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns/page/2#post-1838842 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 11:59:48 +0000 Scarlet 1838842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to hear she won't need further treatment.

We took her back to the burn unit today where they put her under again to check, wash and rebandage her burn. We were told that it was healing well and there will be no need for surgery.

A young neighbor of ours (20ish) was goofing around and fell in the fire pit. He suffered terrible burns on his legs. He had been very active, playing competitive soccer, skiing, and rock climbing. His parents had to drop everything and drive to his bedside. Once he was released from the hospital, his mother stayed and helped with his burn care. It was a month or two. It's been a couple years and he's back to his old active self. He does have scars on his legs, but functionally, he didn't lose anything.</p> <p>Best of luck to you and your daughter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1835647 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 18:43:23 +0000 Anonymous 1835647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear it's that bad! Prayers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1835578 Sat, 12 Aug 2017 13:53:10 +0000 kerry 1835578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Friday's hospital visit was tough. The doctor let us know that parts of the burn are very deep (it was his first time seeing it). She has a new dressing on with a special tube so I can irrigate it 3 times a day. He wants to reserve judgement until our next appointment Friday. I fear she'll need a skin graft but won't know more until then.</p> <p>Any spare good wishes for my sweet girl would be greatly appreciated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834878 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 02:04:54 +0000 Aquamarine 1834878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor thing! Best wishes for her recovery. She's in good hands, I imagine. Remember that kids are resilient (moms less so!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834856 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 01:06:31 +0000 kerry 1834856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your wisdom and kind messages. She's got another hospital visit Friday morning where they'll give her mild sedation so that they can attend to the burn. I think it's going to be a long road ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834818 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 21:31:16 +0000 Eliza 1834818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kerry- no expertise, yet hope the Dr's visit went well and your daughter is comfortable. Healing thoughts are being sent your family's way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834741 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 16:08:01 +0000 Nebraskim 1834741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a second-degree burn on the heel of my hand while transferring a hot pan from the oven. It was about 1.5 inches across. Took a long time to heal (I'm a slow healer for some reason) -- like about 7-8 weeks. I never saw a doctor. Right away I ran cool water over it for several minutes. It developed a couple of large blisters, which I did NOT puncture. I covered the wound and let the blisters eventually pop on their own (took about 8-10 days). I kept the wound covered and it did develop a deep scab that finally fell off. I treated it occ with aloe. I would probably be more careful if it had happened to a child but for me, I just watched it to be sure it didn't get infected. I hope your daughter has a complete and uneventful recovery. I think the most important thing is time and infection watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834733 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 15:18:58 +0000 Anonymous 1834733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch! I burned the inside of my forearm very badly once but it was long ago and under difficult circumstances that did not include good medical care so I'm glad to hear that you're treating it with a doctor's advice.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would do exactly what they tell you to do, ask questions until you have the answers, and NOT implement advice from other sources, friends, family, internet etc., until you've checked it with the doctor. Any open wound like that can develop secondary problems that can be worse than the original issue.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834726 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 14:53:05 +0000 Anonymous 1834726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would aloe vera help? Also, when I got a really bad sunburn, my mom put vinegar and baking soda in the bath water. That helped soothe the burn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834678 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 10:39:03 +0000 kerry 1834678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your replies ladies. It helps to know that she will get better and have little or no scarring. We're headed to the Plastics department at Sick Kids in about a half hour. Wish us luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834644 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 05:32:40 +0000 Tina 1834644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Several years ago our daughter, 9 years old at the time, spilled hot chocolate on her leg. We were sitting around a campfire on an isolated beach. After we got her pants off we noticed the skin was peeling off on her thigh. The only thing we had to cool the burn was cucumbers. I don't know if that is what helped her heal so well but it really soothed her skin at the time. I went to the local pharmacy the next day and they recommended a band aid to cover the burn to prevent infection. Once it healed over a bit we tried to give it periods of open air. She had a dark patch on her leg for a long time but now it is pretty much gone. We never did take her in to the doctor because she didn't show any signs of infection and had no complaints.<br /> I have also heard that a raw potato is good on burns but I'm not sure if that is just the initial wound or also to sooth it later on.<br /> I hope you find good help for your daughter! It sounds painful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834617 Wed, 09 Aug 2017 00:17:55 +0000 anne 1834617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No experience, but you have my sympathy.So hard to see our kids in pain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-have-experience-with-second-degree-burns#post-1834585 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 20:13:18 +0000 Anonymous 1834585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear. One of my DDs, when she was about that age, touched her palm on the side of a crockpot and got burned. We took her to the ER, and they took care of it. It was years ago, so I don't remember exactly what they did. </p>
