Sunburn

it kind of depends.... if it's a boy or girl.... either way you should probably go see a docter or at least get it checked out...

I would consider a second degree sunburn where you are very red to the point you an not comfortably touch the skin at all, or if you have any blisters.

sometimes in cases of bad sunburn you can get "sun sick" as i have heard it called. Chills, nausea, light headed and very tired. This is likely due to the trauma of being burnt and getting dehydrated and simply being too hot.

If you feel at all lightheaded or sick to your stomach , get into air conditioning right away! Drink some water or Gatorade to get your electrolytes back if you do not feel better right away you may have heat exhaustion and need medial help .Take care of your burn by applying aloe with lidocaine (name brand, Solarcaine) to help with the pain, and taking a pain reliever to help with the inflammation and discomfort .I would take a cool oatmeal/milk bath to soothe the skin and help with the upcoming itching. If you have blisters DO NOT POP them this will make it worse, they will either go down on their own or pop on their own, leave them be. you can get a serious infection if you pop them.

Yes, sunburn is a first degree burn. A first degree burn will have redness. It will also feel hot to the victim.

The sun... also Ultraviolet Rays

Go to the doctors.... Lol

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.

First, do something to heal the wounds. Cover them if you are exposed ot the sun again, to prevent them from getting worse. There are creams and lotions made to help heal sunburns, too. If it is very severe, go to the doctors. They can help with more proactive treatments to help prevent future problems. For the pain, you could try an oer-the-counter pain killer to help ease it up a little but, too.

Sometimes, you get hives or red spots later. Science chemical reactions takes time. You really have to use lotion.

I am assuming this is one of the Science Award Trust Questions. Well my answer for this was:

There is an ozone hole over Antarctica which has grown so large it reaches southern parts of Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina and South Africa. Also New Zealand's Ozone layer is very thin so the sun takes a shorter time to burn us compared to other areas of the world.

Sun burn can be prevented by avoiding sun exposure between 10am-2pm, Wearing protective clothing and wide brimmed hats and by regularly applying sunscreen.

Sunburn is permanent. The long term dangers of sun burn are premature aging skin and wrinkling, brown spots and freckles, development of premalignant lesions and development of skin cancer.

NO. Any oil based cream will 'cake' and will act to form a sort of layer that keeps the heat in and will worsen the burn. Use a very thin very light gel or cream such as aloe vera(if you can get hold of a plant and cut the leaves its fantastic) you will need to apply very very regularly, if the burn is bad then look at applying as soon as the gel has been absorbed

benzocaine

It actually will help sooth the sunburn

This could be a candida rash. Sometimes when you have too much yeast in your blood, it breaks out through the skin as an itchy rash and warmth. It is best to seek a doctor's advice if this continues.

do elephants get sunburn

That you have burnt yourself to a crips just as when we overcook any meat it gets darker to eventually black when burnt. Use sunscreen.. who wants to be wrinkly and risk skin cancer?

Yes.

Pig skin is sensitive to the sun and they can get burnt. This is one of the reasons that they like to roll in mud. The mud keeps their skin cool and also acts as a sunblock.

yes when i was pregnant my face was really puffy and i was carrying water all over my body so yes it is possible this could indicate a health problem though i would have it checked out

Use straight aloe vera gel on inflammed area and see the doctor . The doctor should give an antihistamine for the itching. The weight gain you and your doctor would have to figure out.

no

YES...the sun can cause swelling in your forehead and eyes..Ive seen it many times.Theres not much you can do except to ice it and wait it out.Some people have a reaction to the sun even if they never have before..your body reacts with fluid build up.

yes and it is really bad for them so wear sunglasses

If this is a true sunburn you cannot get rid of it in five minutes. Anymore than you can get rid of a burn if you touch a hot pan in an oven. You will have to wait until the burn heals that could be as long as five days.

We protect ourselves from the ultraviolet radiation by staying indoors, covering exposed areas with clothing and using an appropriately rated sunscreen designed for that purpose.

Nope, it heals it from the pain, it's actually the best to use for a sunburn.

But mix it with water on a wash cloth don't soak it just in rubbing alcohol or it may sting at first, with water it don't sting.

You should see a doctor. This could be nothing but it could be a sign of more serious problems.

It sounds like shingles. it is caused by the chickenpox virus and it lives in the spine. sometimes it can escape and give a burning sensation. it is treated by medication. it can be painful and even after treatment you can still have the pain for up to 12 months after the flare up in rare cases. i have recently been diagnosed with this myself and it is a different pain to normal back pain as it is a constant burning, in my case it is only in 1 small spot on the left side of my spine, see your dr and they will be able to help
