Sunburn
LESPAIN alleviates sunburn pain fast with pain
relieving lidocaine and moisturizes with urea and allantoin. Sunburn
may not show up immediately, but peaks 15 to 20 hours after the
damage was done. Symptoms include red, painful skin, blisters and
feeling hot.
Lotions that work
Treatments that take the sting, redness and
itching out of a sun burnt skin include:
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is probably the best remedy for a sun
burnt skin as it causes blood vessels to constrict and takes the
sting and redness out of the sunburn. Buy an aloe vera plant at a
nursery, slit open the leaves and apply the gel directly to the
burn. Aloe dissolved in products can lose much of their efficacy.
Topical Anaesthetics
Look for products that contain lidocaine, such as
LESPAIN because they are unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.
Still, first apply some lotion to a small area of skin to see if you
are not allergic to it.
Other tips
Drink plenty of water (until your urine is
clear). You can easily become dehydrated after sunburn Take a mild
water and vinegar bath if you are feeling very hot. It may ease the
discomfort. Regularly apply chilled moisturizer to Sun burn as well
as cool water compresses dries the skin out. LESPAIN contains both a
moisturizer and an analgesic.
Don't prick the ensuing blisters. Place a cool
water compress on them Stay out of the sun. It takes several months
for your skin to heal after a burn. If you go into the sun too soon,
you will burn faster and cause even more damage.
When to see a doctor
In some cases it is better to see a doctor than
to treat sunburn at home. See a doctor if:
- You have extensive blistering, You have a total body burn
- Your blisters break and become infected
- You develop chills and a fever or feel shaky
- You have flu-like symptoms
- The pain and itching get worse after the first 24 hours
