Local Tips for Sunburn in Olympos-Cirali

Treatment Options for Sunburn in Olympos-Cirali
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. Typical choices are cooling gels, moisturisers, pain relief and, for intense burns, a stronger steroid cream.
- Get out of the sun and cool the skin with a cool shower or damp cloth
- Drink plenty of water
