Sunburn

The clear fluid that's coming out is sweat. There's nothing alarming happening. Your body is reacting to the burn by building lots of new layers of skin, and the top ones are drying up in preparation for peeling. Sometimes that makes sweat glands blocked (particularly with heavy use of aloe) but they're just blocked by the outermost layer of dead skin. The aloe is not a problem, i fact it's antibacterial, so it's good. but picking at or scratching at the bumps is likely to damage the new tissue underneath. So shower a little more to wash off the dead skin, and wash with soap to take off some more of that outer layer. Don't scour or scratch the skin, but sometimes blasting cold water directly on the burn while you rub it gently will help. At least that's what's helped me many times in the past.

The main form of electromagnetic radiation that give you a sunburn is Ultra Violet (UV) radiation. (UV rays)

Ultra-violet is furthered graded to UVa UVb and UVc.

UVa - is necessary for the production of Vitamin D

UVb - is required for certain anti-cancer process in the skin.

UVc - has no beneficial function and is the most energetic and responsible for the majority of the sun burn.

Take a white cotton terrycloth hand-towel thoroughly moistened with cool water and lay on your back with it applied to your face for 15-30 minutes, re-wet it if it dries. The dead flesh cells will absorb the water enough that you can gently agitate a soft, wet sponge without causing too much irritation to the tender fresh flesh beneath. This may take a few attempts depending upon how many skin cell layers were damaged.

Moisturizers should be tested in small areas, as many can really sting when you have a sunburn. Aloe Vera is a very good product for aiding the healing process of sun-burnt flesh, although it can feel tacky/sticky as it is absorbed.

The above concerns a normal sunburn, which is a first degree burn which only damaged the initial skin layers. If there is severe blistering, cracking of skin, weeping fluids that crystallize on the flesh and associated severe pain, it is a second degree burn, AKA "sun poisoning" and should be treated by a physician.

yes you should moisturize your skin even when u have a sunburn,

No.

I get sunburnt quite quickly.

My friend doesn't.

Another gets is even faster.

How quickly you tan or burn depends on the amount of melanin in your skin. People with fair skin have very little melanin, so they burn more quickly. Beige or darker skinned people have more melanin, so they develop more of a tan before they burn.

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight destroy cells in the outer layer of the skin, damaging tiny blood vessels underneath. When the skin is burned, the blood vessels dilate and leak fluid. Cells stop making protein. Their DNA is damaged

If you get blisters to the point of developing a fever, or a degraded general condition.

I have fair skin so I sunburn easily after I have been in the sun I put after sun on then I put on Aloe Vera Gel, You can get it from places like Holland and Barratts. I am not to sure what to do about severe but hope that helps.

yes

It does on me.

I don't know exactly how it works, but it draws the heat from the burn. Vinegar can be applied with a soft cloth, or add two cups to a warm bath and soak for 15 minutes. Either way, you will instantly feel better. Repeat every 4 hours for a bad burn, but usually after the first time, you feel improvement immediately. I also suggest using aloe vera after the first two applications of vinegar. The aloe keeps the skin mosturized and keeps skin from peeling so you won't lose the tan you suffered for!

If you still suffer after vinegar, it may sound crazy, but lay down on cool concrete (perhaps a basement floor or carport.) The cool concrete draws the heat out, but it is only a temporary solution. Vinegar is the best way to go!

the skin cells turn black which makes you go darker and suncream turns it white again so if you are black then you are going to go horribly sick

Keep the blisters cool, by applying a cool-damp towel, cold compress (do not use ice)to the affected skin or take a cool bath.

Keep the blisters moist by apply moisturizing cream (non-oil based), aloe vera cream or gel or other over the counter sunburn products (check with your pharmacist).

Leave blisters alone. Do not break them, that will slow down the healing process and risk an infection. To protect the blisters, lightly cover with a non-stick sterile gauge pad.

If necessary, take a pain reliever such as, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin or other). Follow label instructions.

Take the pain reliever until redness and soreness is alleviated.

Skin that has blistered should be treated gently and kepted moisturize .Use sunscreen liberally and frequently to prevent further damage to your sunburn blisters. Some studies have shown that we only use half of the recommended amount.

Also, don't go out in the sun for awhile. It just makes it worse.-TwilightLover1011999

A sunburn is a first degree burn. As painful as being scalded with hot water and just as damaging to the flesh killing the cells of several layers of skin cells. When skin cells die they dry and flake off and we usually never even notice. 90% of the dust in a home is comprised of dead skin cells of the occupants. Dandruff is also nothing more than dead skin cells. When you get a sunburn, the body stops supplying those cells with nutrients. The tender flesh beneath is still in close proximity to blood capillaries and nerve tissues. Standard secretion of sweat and skin oils help to push away and shed the damaged and dead skin cells when it is ready. That is what causes the peeling. It's usually better to let the skin peel naturally, so the tender flesh beneath isn't exposed until it is ready.

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

It is a side effect over exposure to the sun. You may not even have to get burned to have nausea as a symptom. If a person is getting nauseous from the sun, move them to a cooler location right away. They need to drink some water or a sports type drink with electrolytes. In some serious cases, they may need medical attention. See the related link below for more.

Sun burn can't be reduced with anything but time. There are plenty of home remedies that can be used to treat the discomfort of a sun burn such as a cold bath, The leaves of an Aloe plant.

Another good home remedy for sunburn is Noxzema skin cream.

It's all up to the person and what you do to it. If you take care of it "Like puting Triple Antibiotic Ointmant on it BUT just a little bit dont get it in your mouth It should not take but 3 to 5 days to heal. T,A,O, Realy works and it works for Razzer Burn ;)

• One of the main reasons New Zealand is subject to higher rates of sunburn is that it is such a clean country - its unpolluted atmosphere, combined with its relatively low latitudes, result in sunlight which is stronger than much of Europe or North America.
• Many New Zealanders enjoy an active outdoors lifestyle.
• There is a thinning of the ozone layer above New Zealand (not a hole). Occasionally, the hole over the Antarctic reaches New Zealand, but it is not a regular occurrence.

Anything containing aloe is good for burns, as it's very cooling and soothing. Most lotions have aloe in them of course, but if you're looking to treat a burn completely, just buy some aloe gel. Banana Boat Aloe Gel is the standard.

Answer

Not if the burn still hurts--the lotion will act like butter, which we used to put on burns and which made them worse. Ice down the area, 15 minutes at a time, until it stops burning. You can also take benedryl to help with the pain. Once you stop the burning, then keeping the area moist with lotion or cream isn't a bad idea. Some say that aloe gel is a good moisturizer.

Ultraviolet rays are a intense for of rays that normally you cant see, the sun emits uv rays, you stare at the sun you go blind, you tan in the sun too much, you may get skin cancer. Its the form of Radiation that causes it.

Being sunburned can cause fatigue, but does not usually cause muscle aches specifically.

Skin pigmentation, based on a code of genetics, protects the skin. Skin pigmentation is determined by the amount and type of melanin, the pigment in the skin. Depending on what color, or skin pigment color, your skin is, there is a different level of protection provided for skin, due partially to a person's ancestors. For example, those who have family who originated from the tropics probably have dark skin, due to the fact that in tropical areas there is more sunlight, and therefore, those people would have adapted to having a lot of sun shining down at them. This contracts with those who have ancestors who originated from snowy or cold regions where the sun is seldom seen have paler skin.

When you are underwater, the UV light can only penetrate a short distance. But if you are swimming on the surface, the layer of water between you and the Sun generally isn't enough to protect you.
