What should I do if my skin is sunburned and red?

When the skin becomes sunburned and red, the following measures can be taken to promote healing: 1. Cold compress: Apply a cold compress using cool water or ice packs to the sunburned area. Wet敷 for 5–10 minutes at a time to help reduce inflammation and soothe the sensation of redness. However, avoid using excessively cold water or placing ice directly on the skin to prevent frostbite. 2. Avoid further sun exposure: Immediately move out of direct sunlight, avoid additional UV exposure, and use protective measures such as wide-brimmed hats, umbrellas, and sunscreen. 3. Moisturize: Use fragrance-free, non-irritating moisturizers and gently apply them to the affected skin to help restore hydration and maintain skin moisture. 4. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to ensure adequate fluid intake, which supports skin repair and the generation of new skin cells. 5. Medication: For severe sunburn, topical treatments such as hydrocortisone butyrate ointment or desonide ointment may be used. However, always follow medical advice and avoid self-medicating without professional guidance.
