It seems that in the world there is not a single person who at least once has not felt all the “charms” of a bright sun.
Sunburn, home
treatment and everything you need to know about this type of skin lesion, we will discuss further.
Tan
Let's start with the elementary one and we will not erect a slander on the tan, as a result of which this type of burns most often appears.
Exposure to our skin of the sun makes it possible:
- the vitamins D, C, P received by the body are absorbed;
- metabolism to function properly;
- strengthen immunity;
- enzymes produced;
- Stimulated by the respiratory system and the hematopoietic system;
- mood rise.
Sunburn
Treatment at home can begin with banal prevention. When going out in the sun, do not forget to use protective creams, oils. The weaker your skin, the higher the protective factor should be. After several procedures, the top layer of the skin becomes keratinized, darkens and will be able to redistribute heat more actively. So much less likely to appear sunburn.
Under any circumstances, treatment of the resulting lesions at home should not begin with:
- the use of any kind of oil, moisturizers are allowed;
- ice packs, a gradual decrease in the temperature at the burn site is allowed.
Heatstroke
Also, one should not forget that it is heat stroke that can be the companion of this trouble, as a result of unpleasant sensations on the skin are added fever, chills, headache, nausea. This is something that may well accompany a sunburn. Treatment at home in this case should be accompanied by procedures to restore the body's heat balance, namely peace, plenty of water, cool compresses on the head.
Blisters
Another phenomenon that accompanies sunburn is blisters. Their treatment should be carried out very carefully, subject to all sanitary standards. The reason is simple: the wound is open, and it is easy to bring the infection. As a result, volumetric purulent wounds can form. It is necessary to treat them as with a normal burn, namely:
- do not injure;
- protect from contamination with sterile gauze dressings;
- treated with antiseptic drugs (creams "Bepanten", "Panthenol", a weak solution of manganese or tablets "Streptocid").
Funds
And now about the most important thing, namely the means that ideally help with sun damage to the skin. Cucumber, red and sour milk come first. Banal wiping can provide excellent help. Mummy dissolved in water or body milk will remove redness, even when it seems that blisters cannot be avoided. Next come strong cool tea, the rubbing of which will relieve inflammation gently. It can be replaced with infusion of chamomile, oak, St. John's wort or Ivan tea. Of the medicines, use the same Bepanten-Ointment and Panthenol Cream.
Causes
Sunburns, the treatment at home of which we discussed, appear due to a decrease in the production of melanin and not thickening of the stratum corneum, which can redistribute solar heat. Most often, painful redness occurs after the first solar procedures. Do not forget about precautions and sunbathe with pleasure!
