Sunburn Causes, Symptoms, Sunburn Home Remedies Cure

Sunburn is a red, painful skin that feels hot to the touch. Sunburn usually appears within a few hours after sun exposure and may take from several days to several weeks to fade.

Causes of Sunburn:

Sunburn results when the amount of exposure to the sun or other ultraviolet light source exceeds the ability of the body's protective pigment, melanin, to protect the skin. Sunburn in a very light-skinned person may occur in less than 15 minutes of midday sun exposure, while a dark-skinned person may tolerate the same exposure for hours.

If you do get a sunburn:

• Try taking a cool shower or bath or placing wet, cold wash rags on the burn.

• Avoid products that contain benzocaine, lidocaine, or petroleum (like Vaseline).

• If blisters are present, dry bandages may help prevent infection.

• If your skin is not blistering, moisturizing cream may be applied to relieve discomfort.

• Over the counter medications, like ibuprofen, may help to relieve pain from sunburn. DO NOT give aspirin to children.
