1. Avoid further sun exposure and use sunscreen and wear sun-protective hats. 2. Apply cold compresses to the sunburned areas to reduce pain and swelling. Topical skincare products containing aloe vera, arbutin, or similar ingredients may be used for soothing and skin repair. 3. Do not scratch sunburned skin with your hands, as this may cause infection or worsen inflammation. 4. If symptoms are severe, such as blistering or oozing, seek medical attention; anti-allergy medications or topical corticosteroid creams may be required.
