Sunburn

Burns hurt because when the skin is burned, the skin tries to get rid of the heat as fast as possible. It does this by all the capillaries opening wide (most of them usually aren't). But when they stay wide open too long, they rupture, causing further damage, and sometimes tissue death. Cuts hurt too, but the deeper the cut, the less it hurts. Most of the nerves in your skin are loacted along the more shallow layers of skin (this is also why a paper cut can hurt a lot more than a more serious deep cut). A deeper cut severs nerves...no nerves, no pain. Have a burn (or a cut)? Cover the area with a cool, wet terrycloth towel and keep it covered for about 8 hours, and change it when it gets too warm (you'll know because the pain will get worse as it gets warmer). This will often help to relieve the pain. Tammy F

Sunscreen eventually breaks down and more has to be put on. The container usually gives directions as to how often to reapply.

Silvadene cream. you have to get it with a prescription. Most doctors will prescribe it for burns if the are more than a first degree. If it is just a sunburn, most of the aloe with lidocaine creams will help with a sunburn or a first degree burn. First degree burns only turn red, and do not blister. Any blistering shows signs of second degree burn.

a great way to cool a sunburn is by putting healing aloe on it and then lay underneath a fan while the air blows on your back---it feels so good

I don't think so, but it's not recommended for a bad or severe burn, if you have a bad burn use tea, aloe Vera, or plain yogurt. If you use ice make shure you wrap it in a bag or something, because the ice sucks up the heat. But it can be bad if you just plop ice cubes on your back

If you get burned a lot, you are at greater risk for skin cancer later in life.

To avoid risking cancer: Put on sunscreen, and if you get burned, wash it gently and place a cool damp compress on it, and use Aloe Vera or another treatment.

To take care of sunburn on your face you treat it like any other sunburn that would happen on your body. You first keep applying aloe on it at C-VS stores and Rite Aid stores they have these aloe masks for sun burns on the face. Then after you should drink lots of water and stay in a cool area.

A first degree is limited to the epidermis. A second degree burn involves the epidermis and varying depths of the dermis. The skin appendages (hair follicles and sweat glands) are still spared. A first degree burn will generally heal in 3-5 days. A second degree burn may take up to 2-3 weeks.

apply a sunscreen lotion aloe vera

load on the aloe vera and ice packs. i had a terrrrrrible burn one day and school photos the next, so every 15 or 20 minutes i reapplied heaps of aloe and as it dried i put ice on it.

I had quite bad sunburn, and it took a week to peel. I had convinced myself that it would just brown off, but after exactly a week it started peeling. I think sunburn can start peeling at any time between a day and ten days. But I'm not an expert!!! xx

I don't know of a way to get rid of a sunburn overnight, but I have found that regularly applying cool or cold wash cloth compresses draws the heat out and can limit the redness. I recommend alternating compresses and blue aloe vera gel. Do it continuously for as long as you can! And ibprofen for the pain. :(

No its very good for your skin :)

Depending where the burn is on the skin and if you don't mind/notice the pain when doing your work out, I don't see the problem. Nonetheless, STAY OUT OF THE SUN.you need to stay in the house so that you can recover quickly

the place where you got sunburned will turn red and will sting and burn like crazy

The reason that skiers get sun burned in winter is because of the reflective properties of the snow. The snow absorbs very little of the suns rays and reflects them back. The intensity of the suns rays make it very easy for exposed skin to get burned.as well as ice skating ice's reflective properties as well can have rays reflect and burn skin.

a tan is where reguler exposure to the sun causes the skin to get darker to protect itself from the UV rays given off by the sun.

a burn is where to much sun at one time burns the skin and turns it red due to damage.

That would be your skin trying to heal. Drink lots of water to help it. Also, eating fruits and vegetables will help.

The skin that peels off is the damaged skin cells, which reveals fresh, healthy skin. It's the same process as when you exfoliate.

Heat, anti-inflammatories, and a muscle relaxer if you've got it. Like pinched nerves in the back (from disk herniations), a lot of the real pain from pinched neck nerves (which can indicate a disk problem in the cervical spine as well) comes from the muscles spasms caused by the nerve being compressed.

Heat helps loosen the muscles, and allows for increased blood flow to the area to heal. If you do use cold (it does help some people, but it can irritate already sensitive nerves) use it for short periods, then add heat.

What it boils down to is that the combination reduces the inflammation, relaxes the muscle spasms, and increases blood flow to promote faster healing.

A lower sun means that the rays have to travel through more atmosphere. That filters out more of the harmful rays, making it harder to burn. When the sun is at it's highest point in the sky, it has the least amount of atmosphere to get through.
