The wounds should be covered with dressings that do not stick, such as the Urgotul® contact layer.To avoid pain and to promote healing. In certain locations, even when using this type of dressing, it may also be useful to apply a layer of Vaseline. The dressing must then be covered with a sterile compress held in place with a conforming bandage such as Nylexfix® and a sparadrap, ensuring that it does not adhere directly to the skin and is not pulled too tightly.
If the wounds are located on the hands and feet, the fingers and toes should be carefully separated to promote healing: dressings must be positioned between all fingers and toes then held in place with a small bandage around the wrists and ankles. Keep a treatment book to note down important aspects: the colour of the dressing (colour, smell), the level of pain before, during and after the bath in order to adjust the treatment with painkillers, the child’s behaviour, number of blisters pierced etc…
