Burn injuries on babies are always worrying. Their skin is incredibly delicate, making the healing process much more sensitive and complex. Even something that seems minor, like a hot water spill, can lead to serious consequences.

In this case, a baby under the age of 1 suffered burn wounds after an accident involving hot water. The burns were classified as superficial-to-deep dermal burns (1st to 2nd degree), affecting 15% of the baby’s Total Body Surface Area (TBSA).

Given the extent of the injury, the baby required quick and intensive treatment to minimise the risk of infection and prevent the formation of burn scars.

From day one, the baby received regular burn wound treatment using wund+™ Wound Spray. This antiseptic spray was applied after every wound cleansing session, helping reduce the risk of infection without irritating the baby’s skin.

As inflammation began to subside and signs of epithelialisation appeared, the next step was to support skin regeneration. wund+™ Regeneration Cream was gently applied around the burn area to keep it hydrated, protected, and calm during recovery.

After 10 days of consistent, gentle care, the baby’s burn wounds showed noticeable improvement. Redness and swelling had subsided, and healthy new skin had begun to form.

What’s especially important is that no signs of infection were found throughout the healing process, indicating that the burn treatment was effective and well-managed.

With the right care and support from medical professionals, burn wounds on babies can heal safely, without leaving behind lasting scars. The key lies in gentle treatment and consistency, ensuring that even delicate baby skin can recover comfortably and completely.
