A burn is an injury to the skin or other organic tissue primarily caused by heat or due to radiation, radioactivity, electricity, friction or contact with chemicals. Thermal (heat) burns occur when some or all the cells in the skin or other tissues are destroyed by: hot liquids (scalds), hot solids (contact burns), flames (flame burns). Wound treatment in this case utilizes the TIME management approach. Wound soap and antiseptic solution are employed, followed by the selection of a primary dressing: zinc cream. This case involved a 1-year and 5-month-old child who sustained scalding injuries due to hot water in the chest and right arm area. The parents sought treatment for the child at an independent practice one day after the incident. Maintenance carried out on August 9,2024 and using triple M, 1st M: Wash the wound with sterile water and wound soap, then apply antiseptic solution. 2nd M: Removes waste debris and peels off epidermis. 3rd M: Use zinc cream as a primary dressing, cover with padding, then cover with orthopedic wool and a crepe bandage. Treatment on third, August 16, 2024 found that the wound had improved, the child had begun to do activities well, and the pain had reduced. Treatment was completed in just 8 days. Topical zinc cream therapy functions to maintain wound moisture so that the wound surface remains in optimal condition. As a topical zinc cream, it aids autolytic debridement in preparing red wounds, prevents damage when the dressing is removed, and reduces unpleasant odors. Good and appropriate wound care can help speed up the healing process and improve comfort and quality of life.
