Avoid further sun exposure and rest in a shaded area. Keep the skin moisturized and avoid using irritating cosmetics to prevent re-sunburn. Mild symptoms can be relieved with cold compresses—gently apply a cool compress to the affected area for about 15–20 minutes per session. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention; a doctor will prescribe anti-allergic or anti-inflammatory medications based on the specific condition.
