Help, I've been burned!
<<return to list of topics

Didn't protect yourself and got burned big time? Ease your pain now and be more careful next time. Here are some steps that might help:

Step 1: Soak in a cool, but not freezing, bath to take the heat (and the edge) off.

Step 2: Apply moisturizer to soften the skin and trap some of the water, but make sure your skin is cool beforehand, so that you don't end up trapping the heat as well.

Step 3: Rub on some calamine lotion or talcum powder. These will help you get rid of some of that heat and keep the temperature down.

Step 4: Take some acetaminophen for the pain

Step 5: If your sunburn starts to itch, leave it be and take an antihistamine.
