What You Need to Know About Sunburn Treatment

Sunburn is an acute inflammation of the skin that occurs as a result of intense and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Especially children and people with light skin color are in the risk group for sunburn and are much more sensitive. Sunburn can be life-threatening by causing dangerous systemic effects when it occurs in large areas. For this reason, fair-skinned individuals and especially children should use protective accessories such as hats and sunglasses when going out in the sun and should not neglect to apply sunscreen.

Mild sunburns only cause redness, but severe burns can cause blisters on the skin. There is also the possibility of scarring as a result of severe burns. It should not be forgotten that sunburns can be caused not only by sunlight but also by an artificial light source such as a solarium. The damage caused by the burn primarily affects the epidermis, that is, the uppermost skin layer. However, damage and inflammation can also occur in the dermis, the layer under the epidermis. Repeated cases of sunburn cause the skin to age faster and can eventually lead to skin cancer. Therefore, necessary precautions should be taken and sunburn should be ended as soon as possible.

To control sunburns and cool the affected area, you can apply a damp cloth to your skin. Taking a cold shower will relax your skin. However, you should avoid harsh soaps that can irritate your skin, and you should delay scrubbing and fibering for a certain period. We recommend that you stay away from things that contain alcohol or dyes for a certain period of time, as they can further dry the skin and cause further damage.

Aloe vera has been a natural remedy for sunburns for years. This herb has antioxidants and antibacterial properties that work together to fight inflammation and promote healing.
