E-rx.onlineGolden Horn: Local Notes for Sunburn
The Golden Horn shoreline and its ferries mean hours of sun and wind outdoors. Hours of sightseeing in open squares can burn you before you notice. Wear a hat, use sunscreen and rest in the shade.
Causes and Risk Factors
Too long in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection off sea and sand and certain medicines make burning likelier.
Understanding Sunburn
Sunburn is skin damage caused by too much ultraviolet light from the sun. The skin turns red, hot and painful within hours, and may blister and peel in the days that follow.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Pain and tightness
- Swelling and blisters in more intense cases
Preventing 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.
Treatment Options for Sunburn in Golden Horn
The doctor views the skin on camera, judges the depth of the burn, advises on pain relief and skin care and prescribes treatment if appropriate. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest cooling gels, moisturisers, pain relief and, for severe burns, a stronger steroid cream.
- Drink plenty of water
- Do not burst blisters, and keep the area covered from the sun
- Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera gel
- Get out of the sun and cool the skin with a cool shower or damp cloth
