Sunburn Relief - Tips to Treat It
If you happened to have forgotten your sunscreen over the past weekend and got burned, you’re probably looking for a quick sunburn relief remedy about now.
About.com’s Rod Brouhard has some excellent tips of how to treat your burn.
As always, if your burn is severe, you need to seek professional help immediately. Blistering is a sure sign that you have a severe sunburn.
Here are a few key points from Brouhard to help you with sunburn relief:
- Stay out of the sun to prevent further burn and take a cool bath to help with the pain.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers can also help provide sunburn pain relief.
- Keep butters and oils away! Brouhard strongly recommends against them! Instead, apply aloe to your burn.
- If you experience swelling of the hands or feet (turning blue, tingly, etc.), seek immediate, professional medial help.
- Wear loose fitting clothing to prevent irritation while the burn is healing.
