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.

When you have sunburn can you use epaderm cream?
I used it on bad sunburn and had a severe itchy reaction. I checked epaderm and it says NOT to use on sunburn.
Why can't you get a sunburn if you're behind glass?
This is not entirely true Even behind glass it is still possible to get sunburned but it takes a lot longer. The reason this is is because sunburn is not only from the brightness of the sun but the UV rays sent from the sun are basically slowly cooking our skin. That's why over exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer. When behind glass the UV rays are not getting to you, so then its just the brightness of the sun that gives you a sunburn, however when it is just the light burning you it takes much longer to actually burn.
In The Giver how does Jonas react to sunburn?
Jonas feels the sunshine which is so nice and warm but the sun burns even harder on his skin and he wants it to stop. That is the first physical pain.
Is a sunburn a chemical reaction or physical change?
Yes, the chemical reaction is your skin produces melanin (brown pigment) to help protect your skin from further damage from the UV rays. This is why humans have evolved to have dark skin in sunny tropical or sub-tropical areas. Your body also naturally produces vitamin D from the sunlight in the fat in your body under the skin and this is a chemical reaction too. So if you don't get out in the sun much you should take a vitamin D supplement or drink fortified milk or soymilk.
burning feeling in the skin can be nerve damage. ----
This is a question you should discuss with your doctor, as the possible causes range from just irritating to quite serious.
Insect bites, other arthropod bites, contact with certain plants or chemicals - these can all cause localised skin irritation. Vitamin deficiencies can result in nerve irritation, but this is usually not localised to one area. Various viral infections can affect the nerves, and some fungal infections can affect the skin and possibly alter sensation.
The nerve supply to the skin of the chest comes from spinal nerves that exit the spinal column below each vertebra. They supply the skin in stripes or bands known as dermatomes. Each side is supplied separately.
This means that damage to a nerve or to the spine can result in sensations on the skin. This may occur with or without muscular involvement, depending on the type of damage.
Zoster sine herpeticum is a form of shingles where there is no visible rash. Shingles is caused by the same virus as chicken pox, which becomes dormant in the nerve ganglia and may reactivate later in life during times of stress, illness, or due to various causes of decreased immunity (including HIV infection.) Usually it affects one dermatome on one side of the body, and there is usually a rash made up of blisters. It is very painful. In the early stages, it can be felt as an itch, and the rash may only develop later. It could be a sign of more serious problems, and it can be infectious and give other people the virus.
How do you feel if you have a sunburn?
Depends on how bad your sunburn is. A mild one and you'll be uncomfortable, or your skin could sting and even itch, too. A severe one and you're in agony, running a fever, and even becoming delirious. Blistering, dehydration and a severe electrolyte imbalance can cause delirium, shock and even death from sunpoisoning.
It does not heal it, but it does feel soothing.
It definitely does not need to be a pickle either, A paper towel with vinegar should do just fine.
Aloe vera is the best.
Cut off a lea off the plant, split the leaf open and rub some of the gel stuff on the sunburn - it's the best thing you can get for any kind of burn
Does being beneath the water in a pool reduce the effect of the sun's burning rays?
State the treatment for sunburn?
In homeopathy, it is calendula ointment
in ayurveda, it is turmeric ointment
in home remedies, a paste of gram flour
Alcohol applied to sunburn will dry the skin out further, and probably make it sorer. Applying a water-based moisturiser or calamine lotion is generally the way to go.
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.
There are no known interactions between sulfadiazine and prednisone
However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
Sulfadiazine is in the drug class sulfonamides.
Sulfadiazine is used to treat the following conditions: Rheumatic Fever Prophylaxis, Toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasmosis, Prophylaxis.
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.
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.
Why does my friends skin go brown when they go out but when i go out I go red?
It is because they are a day walker and you are probably full on ginger.
If you get a sunburn how do you make it not red?
No one believes me, but I take as hot of a shower as I can stand and I never burn or peel. yes that works I do it all the time. I also put vinegar on it. It makes it not sting as bad.
Can ocean potion heal a sunburn?
Ocean Potion is a brand known for its sunburn relief products, which often contain soothing ingredients like aloe vera and vitamin E. These formulations can help alleviate the discomfort of sunburn by moisturizing the skin and providing a cooling effect. However, it's essential to remember that while such products may offer relief, they do not heal the sunburn itself; proper sun protection and time are necessary for the skin to recover fully. Always consult a healthcare professional if the sunburn is severe.
