Today (25th), actor Zhang Xinyu posted an article stating that while filming in an extremely cold environment, her face began to peel, become red, and tingle. She thought it was frostbite. Later, she found that the area around her eyes, especially her eyelids, was particularly serious, and she realized that it was a heating steam eye mask. Burned.
She also reminded netizens that on cold days, "be careful not to get 'low temperature burns'".
It is understood that low-temperature burns refer to long-term exposure of the body to a heat source of moderate temperature (generally 44-50°C), causing progressive damage from the superficial dermis to the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
When using heating items, such as the heating eye mask mentioned by Zhang Xinyu, as well as hot water bottles, baby warmers, etc., because the temperature is not too high, the sensory nerve endings of the skin gradually adapt to the contact with the temperature of the heat source, and there is no obvious pain even for certain people. Some people will not feel pain, but in the continuous heating of low heat energy, the surface tissue of the skin will gradually dehydrate under the action of heat energy, causing damage.
Many netizens recounted their experiences of low-temperature burns in Zhang Xinyu’s message area: “I suffered from low-temperature burns while baking in the fire. I held a brazier every day, and my whole thigh was burned.” “There was no air conditioning in school before, and it was very cold. I used a heater. Shuibao warmed my feet, and I didn’t feel hot at all. I got up after a nap and got a big blister.” “I put a warmer on my sleeve before, but then I got a big blister from the low temperature, and now I have a mark on my arm. Since then, That’s when I realized the power of low-temperature burns”…
