Burns treatment in Puebla

Burns are injuries to the skin and tissues caused by heat, contact with hot liquids, chemical substances, electricity or solar radiation. Their severity varies according to the depth and the extent affected.

How they present: redness, pain, blisters, swelling and, in deeper cases, changes in the color or sensitivity of the skin.

When to seek care? When the injury is extensive, deep, affects delicate areas such as the face or hands, or does not heal well, a timely medical evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner guides the initial care and, in complex injuries or those with lasting effects, the plastic surgeon and the reconstructive surgeon take part, as well as the dermatologist. When faced with a burn that worries you, the safest thing is to have it examined by a professional.
