Invisible scars and hidden traps: How incorrect burn treatment delays tissue recovery

Panthenol, a provitamin B5, plays a crucial role in skin repair and moisture retention. It is widely incorporated into over-the-counter burn treatments, cosmetic serums, shampoos, and specialized tattoo aftercare products. Relief for Burns and Injuries For minor burns, whether from household accidents or sun exposure, panthenol accelerates the regeneration of the skin's surface layers and helps reduce inflammation. However, its efficacy is limited to superficial injuries. Therapist Anna Kuznetsova cautions that self-treating serious burns with panthenol can mask symptoms of infection, necessitating professional medical attention in such cases.
