How to treat sunburn?
Sunburn must be treated. Red skin needs to be moisturized, cooled, pain relieved, and lubricated with a regenerating agent. Wet compresses should be kept for up to half an hour. They can be replaced with a bath of cool water (best at room temperature). You can cool burned areas several times a day.
When taking a bath or rinsing, do not wash burned areas with soap, shower gel, or scrub. This will dry it out, which will increase the likelihood of infection by an order of magnitude.

On the Internet you can find many reviews about the results of using Feresol at home and in outpatient settings. In the vast majority of cases, the reviews are positive and patients consider this solution highly effective for the treatment and removal of papillomas. The only drawback of this product is its pungent and pungent odor.
Some reviews about the drug:
“There were several small warts on my hand. I looked for remedies for treating papillomas at the pharmacy and took the most inexpensive one – Ferezol. Price – 95 rubles. Helped me the first time. The warts fell off after a few days. But the smell is very pungent and you can’t get your hands wet.”
“I had 3 plantar warts, which were very painful and did not allow me to walk normally or wear shoes. I decided to use pharmaceutical products at home and purchased Feresol. Before applying, I carefully steamed my legs and cut off the top layer with a machine, as indicated in the instructions. To my surprise, I managed to get rid of warts forever! True, the treatment helped only the second time. The price is completely reasonable – 110 Russian rubles.”
“I treated warts with different means. I bought Duofilm with acids, Feresol with phenol. The drugs were quite good, the warts fell off, but after a few months they appeared again. Celandine and folk remedies did not help. But I had a lot of papillomas, so I still had to see a doctor...”
The average price in Russia is 100 rubles.
Opinions about the drug
As mentioned above, Feresol is used by many people. In most cases, patients are satisfied with the result , as evidenced by many positive reviews. For example, one woman acted completely against the instructions, but this did not affect her health in any way. At the same time, the wart disappeared.
But there are also negative reviews. Most often, people complain about the unpleasant odor of the solution, as well as pain upon contact with the skin. However, if you remember the principle: “The end justifies the means,” then Feresol is an excellent drug for destroying horny formations.
Feresol helped me with “spikes” on the sole of my foot - this is something like a callus that has a painful core that goes deep. At first I started cauterizing it in the house, but the solution smelled very unpleasant, so I went out into the area. I steamed my foot, then dipped it into the solution with a cotton swab and applied it to the shaft for 10 minutes. I was treated 2 times at intervals of a week. After about 10 days, the callus fell off along with the stem. Health to everyone!
Tatyana Leonidovna
I really liked Ferezol. I smeared the solution on a wart that had formed on the ear. The wart appeared suddenly and immediately began to grow. When removing the horny layers, for some reason itching occurred. Fortunately, after applying Feresol, the discomfort disappeared. The solution burned the wart very well, so it began to dry out and eventually disappeared. Despite the fact that the medicine is cheap, I really liked it.
Maria
We first tried Feresol about 20 years ago. Then my son’s right knee and right hand were covered in warts. they were burned off with nitrogen several times . The wounds healed over time, but the warts grew back, and there were more and more of them. A friend advised me to try Ferezol. I anointed my son’s wart on his hand, and then 2 more times within an hour. After a while she disappeared! In the same way, we got rid of the remaining formations. By the way, my brother had a large wart on his hand. He tried many remedies, but could not get it together. On my advice, I tried Feresol - the result is excellent! Very good drug!

What to do if a child has a burn?
Figure 5 – Children most often suffer from contact with high temperatures
Up to 80% of burns in children occur as a result of exposure to elevated temperatures. A child can get burned by boiling water, touch a hot oven, or jump into a fire. The skin of children is much thinner than that of adults, therefore, with the same strength of the active factor, their burns are more extensive and deep, and burn shock occurs faster. In addition, a small child is not able to quickly help himself, so the burning factor affects him longer than an adult. For example, due to painful shock and lack of experience, a baby may not realize to let go of the handle of a hot frying pan.
