About Sunburn
Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.
Why Sunburn Happens
Spending too long in intense sun unprotected; pale skin, midday rays, glare from water and sand and some medicines all increase the chance.
How to Lower Your Risk of Sunburn
Use a high-factor sunscreen, reapply every two hours, wear a hat and sunglasses and stay in the shade between late morning and mid afternoon.
How Sunburn Is Treated
The doctor views the skin on camera, judges the depth of the burn, advises on pain relief and skin care and prescribes treatment if suitable. Treatment can involve cooling gels, moisturisers, pain relief and, for severe burns, a stronger steroid cream.
- Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera gel
- Do not burst blisters, and keep the area covered from the sun
- Get out of the sun and cool the skin with a cool shower or damp cloth
- Drink plenty of water
