Summary
| Description |
English: The primary measure is avoiding further exposure to the sun. The best treatment for most sunburns is time. Most sunburns heal completely within a few weeks.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen or naproxen), and aspirin may decrease redness and pain. Local anesthetics such as benzocaine, however, are contraindicated. Schwellnus et al. states that topical steroids (such as hydrocortisone cream) do not help with sunburns, although the American Academy of Dermatology says they can be used on especially sore areas. Applying soothing lotions that contain Aloe Vera to the sunburn areas was supported by one review. Others have found aloe vera to have no effect. Aloe Vera has no ability to protect people from sunburns. Another treatment includes using a moisturizer that contains soy. |
