Sunburn

Sunburn is when the skin reddens and burns from overexposure to the rays of the sun. It can be anywhere from mildly stinging to something that a person may need to be hospitalized for. Once a person is sunburned, they almost always require additional care for relief of the symptoms. Drying, peeling, and cracking of the skin may also occur.

Can silver sulfadiazine cream be used on the tops of both thighs for severe sunburn while taking 20 mg of predizone daily and also taking 12.5mg of methotrexate weekly?

I was not able to find the exact information you are looking for, however I did find some info on sulfadiazine. which amounted to Avoid using any sulfanamides. I wil put a link in the related links below named (methotrexate ⇔ sulfadiazine) and wil also put the drug interactions site I got it from below that, (named Drug interactions with methotrexate) If I can make a suggestion. Being in basically the same situation as you I have found that metho trexate can cause skin irritations to linger and have been prescribed steroidal cremes to take care of it However aside from the stuff not being particularly good for you it is also expensive. I have now replaced it with tea tree oil and it works like a charm. In the case of the sunburn try hitting it with aloe vera, straight from the plant if you can, or get some creme that contains alloe vera. Tea tree oil would tend to sting a Little on the burn.

What causes sunburn?

Exposing the skin to the ultraviolet rays of the sun for a too long period.

It is also mainly caused through radiation of the sun.

Sunburn produces cell damge in the skin. Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense is not?

By the wording of your question, I'm assuming you know some basic physics, but for those who don't, I'll do a quick summary.

Electromagnetic radiation, of which both visible light and UV radiation are a part, consists of photons (light particle-waves) of varying wavelengths. The wavelength of the radiation determines the energy it carries, they are inversely proportional. Thus, shorter wavelengths have a higher energy, and longer wavelengths have a lower energy.

The DNA inside skin cells can essentially be viewed as long, helical chain of molecules that are bonded together in specific ways. These bonds have specific energies associated with them, and if radiation with the right amount of energy (and hence the right wavelength) hits it, this bond can be broken. Usually, the cell is able to repair this damage. This is a complicated process which can easily be looked up, but I won't go into it here. Sometimes, however, mistakes occur during this repair, and these mistakes are replicated when the DNA is reproduced for further skin cell production.

Now that the background is established, back to the question. UV radiation, having a shorter wavelength than that of visible light, is energetic enough to break bonds in DNA, and thus to damage skin cells.
