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.

Third-degree sunburns, also known as severe sunburns or sun poisoning, typically result from prolonged exposure to intense sunlight without adequate protection, often taking several hours to develop. However, the exact time can vary based on factors like skin type, UV index, and duration of exposure. It's important to note that third-degree burns are more severe than typical sunburns and can indicate significant skin damage. If you suspect a third-degree burn, seek medical attention immediately.
Are you more likely to get sunburn is n the winter rather than the summer?
i work outside i usually wear a ball cap in summer the sun is straight up so the cap blocks my face however its winter now the sun is like 30 deg lower or so. I do not know exact but my face is sun burned and its December however it does not hold true because my arms would be less tan in the winter than summer so i would conclude that it all depends on the angle of the sun to part of your body that is to be exposed.
I've read several inquiries online from people desperately seeking relief as they experience an unusual deep nerve penetrating itch after a sunburn.
My family has experienced this for three generations and when we finally found this soulution we try to let others know.
For intense-deep-i'm going crazy-sunburn itch ....get PEPPERMINT OIL. Be careful not to buy peppermint extract. You can find PEPPERMINT OIL in health food stores and natural foods stores. There are some pharmacists who know about this and carry it as well...not many though.
Rub the oil directly on the affected area until all of the surface is covered. If you can't reach...for back burns, have someone else apply thorougly.
The hands of whoever applies it will feel the cooling affect of the oil even after they wash their hands. It feels fine, not painful in anyway. AVOID any contact with eyes, mouth or nose however as they will be irritated by the oil.
This is the ONLY thing that works nearly instantly and permanently with this deep nerve sunburn itch that some people experience. One application is all that is necessary as Peppermint oil is pretty potent. Please try this. I know the insanity you are feeling if you are going through this right now.
Again I'm talking about unusually intensedeep nerve itching, not regular peeling skin itch that most people experience post sunburn. This deeper, intense almost pinching itch begins usually one or two days following a burn and those who experience it feel as though they are going crazy as it's intensity is nearly unbearable.
Things to avoid that only make this itch worse...don't apply any lotion or other oils. This includes pure aloe vera which seems to just dry it more. Standing under a cool shower spray can help as long as you are in it while you wait for someone to buy the PEPPERMINT OIL. Anyone who has gone through this knows that any relief brought by the spray of water goes away as soon as you get out of the shower and start to dry the itch returns.
PEPPERMINT OIL WILL remove the itch.
Just writing about this always makes me remember the insane feeling of experiencing this and makes me hopeful others will find this in time to find relief.
Once you've used it IT WILL WORK. You'll want to keep the oil on hand and avoid at all costs exposing yourself to the sun again like that in the future. We know two things about it...if you've experienced it once you are vulnerable to it happening again, and, it seems to be a genetic thing. About half of my family members have experienced it once, two of them twice. We don't risk it anymore. It is sure nice to know what to do about it though.
I research this quite a lot to see if other's have found this solution. I did see a few posts that have indicated that gold balm medicated powder has worked for some relief too. I haven't tried that (and don't intend to EVER be in the position to need to), but it's worth writing about any real relief as this is such a crazy thing to experience with no relief.

Does yogurt work on a sunburn?
Yes, yogurt cures sunburn. It contains enzymes and acids that can help cure the sunburn. It might be a little unpleasant to begin with, but once you apply it, relief comes in minutes. You can either soak a cloth in yogurt, or simply apply it on the area affected by sunburn.Leave it on until the yogurt is dry, then rinse it off with cool water and repeat if necessary. There are many different ways to cure a sunburn with yogurt, like adding lavender extract, so just experiment and see which mixture works best for you. Glad I could help! :)
