How bad is a sunburn when you get blisters?

Answer 1

Its a 2nd degree burn...It will heal. Try and wear sunscreen and cover the area when going out. Put burn ointment and Neosporin on the wound. Try to always keep it moist...and don't pop the blisters or peel...this will cause permanent damage to your skin.

Hey a second degree burn is worse you get that from fire

Answer 2

Depending on the size of the blister and where it is, a burn blister can hurt quite a lot. It tends to get more painful once the blister breaks and the raw skin is exposed to the air. This is especially true if the blister is someplace where there's a lot of innervation pain receptors). For instance, burns on the inner thigh will typically hurt more than burns on the heel of the foot, all other factors being equal. Small blisters, on tough places like the bottom of the heel, can be nearly painless.

Answer 3

Sunburns will not necessarily blister. This depends on the duration of time spent in the sun. A sun blister is actually not healthy at all. My suggestion is to apply aloe vera gel or a really deep moisturizer several times a day. Your skin will eventually start to peel, but it will 'peel off' in the shower, rather than 'flake off' during the day.

Answer 4

You have a second degree sunburn. You will be fine as long as you don't pick at anything. This could cost damage to your skin.

For pain relief put some burn cream on it. Make sure you wear loose clothing to help it from squeezing against the sunburn. You can also put ice on it if you wish. To heal it you usually have to wait it out. But there is a rumor that if you put plain yogurt that is cold on your burn it will heal over night.

Make sure next time you prevent sunburn by putting on sunblock every 2-3 hours. It will depend with every hour and what you are doing ex: water activities, beaches tanning etc.

Answer 7

If sunburn is bad enough, it can result in sun poisoning or heat stroke. Both can be life threatening. If the patient has a serious headache, fever, chills, nausea, or anything else that seems out of place, it is best to go ahead and seek medical attention. Even if it turns out not being that serious, they can help with the pain and hydration issues that go along with serious sunburn. Even without sun poisoning, the skin can become so burned that it blisters, and later cracks, bleeds, and can become like "alligator skin" while healing.
