PARISH NURSES COMMITTEE
SUNBURN:
A sunburn will typically become the most severe several hours after
exposure and can be very painful. To treat a sunburn you can gently
apply a cool, wet compress to the skin which will relieve the pain and heat
- also apply pure aloe vera gel, and you may take a small dose of
acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain. Do not apply petroleum-based
products as they prevent heat and sweat from escaping. Stay out of the
sun until the sunburn is completely healed.
