Burns: how to recognize them, take action and restore the skin with Ribogal fish ointment
About hives – types and symptoms
Burns are caused by excessive exposure to heat, sunlight, or chemicals. It is important to recognize them quickly:
- First stage – red, painful skin without blisters (e.g. sunburn).
- Second degree – blisters, intense pain, damage to deeper layers.
- Third degree – all layers of skin damaged, requires immediate medical attention.
What happens to the skin when it burns?
Burns disrupt the structure and function of the skin in various ways:
- Disrupted skin barrier and increased transepidermal water loss ( TEWL )
- Increased inflammation and swelling
- Impaired regeneration ability
First aid for burns
- Cool the burned area with cold (but not ice) water for 10–20 minutes.
- Avoid rubbing, sunlight, and chemicals.
- Use a gentle ointment that retains moisture and supports skin renewal.

| Ingredient | Effect on the skin |
|---|---|
| Petrolatum | Reduces TEWL and protects against further moisture loss. (1*) |

| Omega-3 (EPA, DHA) | Anti-inflammatory, they improve hydration, accelerate healing and reduce UV-induced redness. (2*) |
