When cooking in the kitchen, sometimes unexpected events happen. One of them is that cooking oil explodes out of the pan and gets on the skin of the hands and even the face. Even though it is relatively light, the resulting burn still causes pain, heat, blisters, and even makes the skin peel.
A number of people immediately smear the skin affected by hot cooking oil with toothpaste. However, this method is actually not recommended, you know. This was explained by Dr. Rahman Suwardu, Sp.B, quoted from www.herminahospitals.com, the content in toothpaste actually traps heat in the skin. As a result, burns can become more severe and wider.
To overcome the burning sensation caused by burns , you should use other methods. As an alternative, you can imitate what Instagram user @dapoernya_linda did. In the video upload, he appears to be relying on a type of fruit to reduce the pain on the skin of his hands which was exposed to hot oil.
Curious about how it feels?
After that, take one type of fruit, namely red tomatoes. Wash and cut the tomatoes into two equal parts. Once done, rub the inside of the tomato onto the surface of the skin exposed to hot cooking oil. According to him, tomatoes can be relied on as first aid when the skin is splashed with hot cooking oil. "Tomatoes contain vitamins A and C which can soothe the skin," explained the video owner further. This is proven, after being applied for some time, the burning sensation on the skin decreases. To prevent blisters, you can smear your skin with burn ointment. If you experience a similar incident, don't panic, just practice this method, OK?
