Sunburns can result from too much sun exposure, which can inflame the skin. Take these precautions always while treating these.
Petroleum jelly softens dry skin, but it also prevents sweat and heat from escaping, which increases the risk of infections.
Tight clothing can hurt and make sunburned skin uncomfortable. They also retain heat and impede healing. Put on comfortable, relaxed clothing.
Avoid rubbing, peeling, or popping sunburned blisters. It may result in skin infections and delay the healing process.
Ice does assist to cool the skin down, but it also dries out the skin, which makes sunburns more painful.
