Sunburn & Sun Allergy

What can I do If I have gotten a sunburn during Holiday ?

As First Step Doctor, we prioritize your health and comfort, especially during your travels. If you experience sunburn, here are a few essential tips to help you manage and alleviate the symptoms:

Take a Cool Shower: Take a lukewarm or cool shower to soothe your skin. Avoid very hot water, as it can further irritate your skin.

Apply Moisturizer: Use aloe vera gel or lotions specifically designed for sunburns. These products can help calm and hydrate your skin.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your skin regain moisture. Sunburn can lead to fluid loss, so staying hydrated is important.

Pain Relief and Anti-inflammatory Medication: Over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen or aspirin can help reduce pain and swelling. Be sure to read the instructions on the label carefully before use.

Wear Loose Clothing: Opt for loose-fitting cotton clothes to prevent further irritation to the burned area.

Avoid the Sun: Stay out of direct sunlight until the sunburn heals. If you need to go outside, wear protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.

Keep Your Skin Moisturized: Continue to moisturize the affected areas, as applying moisturizer can support the healing process once the skin begins to peel.

If your sunburn is severe, if you have blisters, or if you feel significant discomfort, be sure to consult a healthcare professional.
