Frequently Asked Questions

How much time it takes to heal a burn

First-degree burns (minor): These affect only the outer layer of skin and heal within 3-7 days [burns healing time]. They cause redness, pain, and minor swelling.
Second-degree burns (moderate): These involve deeper layers of skin and take 7-21 days to heal [burns healing time]. They cause redness, blistering, and more intense pain.
Third-degree burns (severe): These damage all skin layers and heal much slower, often requiring weeks or months and skin grafting [burns healing time]. They appear white or charred and cause numbness.

What is the cost of burn management treatment/surgery?

Minor burns may require basic wound care, costing a few hundred rupees. Extensive burns requiring surgery and hospitalization can easily reach thousands, especially with complications like infections or scarring.

Here’s a breakdown of cost factors:

Burn severity (size and depth): Larger and deeper burns are costlier to treat.

Treatments needed: Medications, debridement (removal of dead tissue), skin grafts, and rehabilitation all add to the cost.

Length of hospital stay: Longer stays increase hospital charges.

Complications: Infections, scarring, and psychological issues significantly increase costs.

If you have health insurance, it may cover a portion of the cost. However, out-of-pocket expenses can still be substantial.

What is the immediate treatment for burns?

Immediate burn treatment: Cool the burn with cool running water for 10-20 minutes. This stops the burning and minimizes damage. Don’t use ice, butter, or ointments – they can worsen it. For serious burns, seek medical help immediately.
