What to do if your skin is sunburned

Doctor's answer (1)

1. Avoid further sun exposure and move to a cool, shaded area. 2. Apply cold compresses to reduce redness and relieve pain. 3. Use skincare products containing ingredients such as aloe vera and arbutin to moisturize and repair the skin. 4. If sunburn is severe, for example, if blisters or high fever develop, seek medical attention promptly. 5. Sunburn prevention is equally important—apply sunscreen, wear a hat, and use an umbrella before going outdoors.
