Outside the window Summer - it's time when everyone seeks to soak the warm rays and get a beautiful smooth tan. Many times have been said about how to correctly sunbathe under the sun, but not everyone takes these rules seriously.
Causes and consequences of sunny burns
As already mentioned, some people neglect the tips on the right behavior in the summer heat, and therefore often face that their skin burns into the sun. Such a phenomenon is called sunburn. Doctors distinguish the degree of burns in accordance with the level of damage to the skin.
So, first degree of sunburn manifests itself in light redness of the skin at which there is a light itch. These symptoms, as a rule, pass in a few days and do not cause any complications.
The second degree of sunburn represents a more severe condition requiring treatment. It is characterized by the formation of blisters that appear several hours after the tan (about 6th), tangible local pain.
If the blisters are small, you can cope with them yourself. If they are large, and besides, a burnt man begins to feel ailment, Nausea, dizziness, he heat, So, immediate medical intervention is required.
As a result of obtaining solar burns, the protective layer of the skin is disturbed, it is dehydrated, loses its elasticity, covered with small wrinkles and begins to confront infections. After burning, photodermatoses often develop, and after burning a serious degree, ulcers and other erosion are often formed.
Very burnt in the sun, it is necessary to ensure that there are no edema. If they appear on the face or neck (due to availability Burn in these parts of the body), then may cause breathing difficulties.
Also, with a significant burning of large areas of the skin and legs, the blood circulation may sometimes be disturbed, which provokes partial numbness of the limbs or even worse - the formation of the skin.
These are rare cases and they require immediate medical care.
What to do with sunny burn?
Having received a sunburn, you need to immediately take measures to facilitate your condition. The best thing is to hide from the scorching rays of the sun in the room, if it is impossible - to go into the shadow, to secure peace.
Then it is advisable to take a cool shower that will immediately bring relief. True, you need to go cautiously in order not to worsen the state of so damaged skin sections. So, our site readers should be remembered that it is not recommended to use soap, shampoos and other means for the shower, as they have drying properties. If necessary, you can use except for children's soap.
Also when receiving solar burns recommended abundant drink to prevent the body's dehydration.
To begin with, it is worth assessing its condition. If the burn is easy, get ready to cope on your own, if strong, think about where to find a doctor.
The skin that burned in the sun can be treated in different ways. Someone gives preference to medicines, and someone is satisfied with folk methods. Consider both options.
Medication methods of treatment
Depending on how the skin suffered greatly, you can offer different treatment options. So, if she is only a bit burned, healing creams will greatly help, which have the effect of cooling, moisturizing and eliminating itching.
The most popular means are those that contain Panthenol. It can be sold in the form of a gel, cream or spray. It is advised to apply a thick layer, and after absorbing updating. So repeat several times on the day, so that for one day you can significantly alleviate your condition.
However, with strong burns it is better to use Salcossuril. It perfectly copes with significant damage to the skin, accompanied by the appearance of blisters and cracks. Salc sector accelerates skin regeneration and optimizes metabolism in tissues.
If the burnt leather hurts heavily, it is not prohibited Reception of painful. In this case, ibuprofen is suitable or aspirin. However, they should not be carried away.
Sometimes it makes sense to start Antihistamine Preparation Course (for example, suprastin), since the solar burn is regarded as an allergic reaction to the impact of UV sun rays. But this can only solve the doctor.
The burned skin is different from normal enhancement, and therefore it can Lubricate with ointment with Kalamin. This substance has antibactericidal properties, drying down, removes itching, increases the regenerative abilities of the skin and forms a protective layer, preventing the impact of irritants.
Among other things, receiving a serious sunburn, it is worth paying attention to Vitamin E. It may be present in the cream, and can be sold in a separate form for intake. Damaged skin as ever needs a heightened amount of vitamins.
Folk ways
Some people are not very trusted by medicines, and therefore tend to listen to the advice of older people and herbalists who will find a natural medicine against any illness. So here, in the people there are a lot of money from burns, however, not all of them are so useful as it seems.
From the very beginning I would like to draw your attention to vinegar and sour cream. They are quite often applied, but do not always give the desired result.
Vinegar dries skin, and, as we said, in the burntable state, she and so dry. Therefore, when it burns it, it is better not to use or apply only when it is easy to redness.
Lubricate Sour cream - one of the most popular ways to eliminate sunburn. But here there is a big but. Sour cream - fatty product (as well as vegetable oil), and therefore it prevents the flow of oxygen into the cells. Of course, it can be used, but only with minimal damage and better if it is low fat. With large blisters, sour cream is contraindicated!
Analog of sour cream stands low-fat kefir. It is applied to the damaged area, and as soon as it begins to filure, wipe the cotton swab, moistened in clean water. After that, it is advisable to apply kefir again.
Also good to use potato, both raw and boiled. Yes, and you can also buy potato starch.
Raw potatoes are a clutch on the grater, cooled, lay out for gauze. The resulting compress is applied to the burn for 15 minutes.
The second way is to cook the potatoes in the uniform, clean the peel, spread. Add sour cream and stir. For convenience, you can use a blender. The mixture is applied to the burned areas for 30 minutes. After that wash off warm water.
Potato starch can be simply filled with reddened skin sections several times a day. If desired, compress makes compress, slightly dilute starch with water.
Cabbage. They say cabbage sheets perfectly remove itching, reduce pain and swelling. Before using them, it is necessary to give boiling water (they will become more elastic) and attach to the patient, having taken the bandage.
High efficiency possess Greek tea, infusion of daisies, lavender or calendula.
For example, you can cook a cold compress from green tea with the addition of aloe juice. Marla is wetted in such a mixture and put on the burnt places for 5 minutes.
Aloe juice generally helps in such cases. And because it is more, the better.
As the main ingredient of a face mask, it is worth using fresh cucumber. Previously rub it on the grater and applied to the skin at 15, or even 20 minutes.
From products you can still use oat flakes. 4 tablespoons of this porridge are sealed in 100 grams of boiling water, in a warm state applied to the skin. So withstand 15 minutes, after which they wash off with water and abundantly lubricate the skin with moisturizing cream.
And finally, I would like to note that some prefer to use against burns Vodka or alcohol. They lubricate itchy sites immediately after the shower, and the next day there is no trace from red.
As can be seen ways, to return their skin a healthy state really a lot. It is only necessary to be clever approaching this issue and in serious cases not to tighten with a campaign to the doctor.
