However, there has been no health research regarding the process of treating skin exposed to hot water with soy sauce, so its truth and safety cannot be ascertained.

Several netizens in the comments column of @linda_zakiah's TikTok upload also explained further about how to treat scalded skin using running water.
" Maybe you can manipulate the hot water outside so it doesn't taste. It's actually cooking inside. So it's better to give it running water, " wrote TikTok @Day.
" Dousing it with running water for at least an hour is guaranteed, the skin won't swell, " added TikTok @Fatma Ajja.
" Friends, if you get hot water/oil, try dousing it with running water, with a few conditions. The water pressure is not too hard/fast, so if it comes from the tap you can use it in the palm of your hand (bloom) so the pressure isn't too strong on the skin, it gets all over the side that is doused, and approximately 20-30 minutes until the skin doesn't feel so hot/warm, if you have received first aid, you can take it to the emergency room to be checked or receive further assistance. The purpose of the dousing is to cool the skin layer, that's why you use running water ( not just soak it). So when our skin or parts of the body come into contact with oil/hot water, if we immediately smear it with soy sauce toothpaste, etc., it could still cause blisters, because the heat has entered the deep layers of the skin, this is from personal experience, " explained TikTok @ Sharafinaardhanii || Hi .
