Ah, summer break. It\u2019s time to leave the daily grind behind and (hopefully) take some time to relax, enjoy yourself with friends and escape work or school for a little while. It\u2019s natural for people to flock toward places that offer warm weather and sea breezes, but they may find themselves unprepared for the intense ultraviolet (UV) rays<\/a> that accompany that dreamy landscape. Sun protection accidents happen, even to those who are usually vigilant about avoiding sun damage. But when you don\u2019t take the proper steps to protect yourself, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll develop a sunburn<\/a>: especially if you\u2019re near sand or water, both of which reflect the sun\u2019s rays back at you, intensifying your UV exposure.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re heading to the beach this summer (or even just spending time in your own backyard!)<\/a>, make sure you know how to avoid sunburns in the first place \u2014 but also what to do if you do<\/em> sustain one.<\/p>\n

Prevention Is the Best Medicine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before hitting the beach, everyone should be sure to pack not only sunscreen<\/a> \u2014 The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using broad-spectrum products with an SPF of 50 or higher when spending extended time outdoors \u2014 but also a hat, sunglasses and clothing<\/a> to cover up with. Adequate sun protection<\/a> is especially important for kids<\/a> and young adults, since sun damage is cumulative.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildhood sunburns significantly increase the risk of skin cancer later in life,\u201d says Linda K. Franks, MD, a board-certified dermatologist practicing in New York. \u201cHowever, if you\u2019ve already suffered a few sunburns, you can lessen your chances of skin cancer by avoiding future burns on skin cells that are already vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preventing sunburns altogether is by far the best way to avoid a very annoying and painful skin condition that also increases your skin cancer risk.<\/p>\n

Stop Sunburn in its Tracks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

But what if you forget to reapply sunscreen, or accidentally leave your hat at home for the day? It happens \u2014 but even if you pledge to do better next time, you may already have gotten a sunburn. According to Dr. Franks, identifying a potential sunburn early can help lessen the ultimate damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you feel that your skin is burning, seek shade immediately,\u201d she says. \u201cThe symptoms of redness and stinging are evidence that an inflammatory reaction has been triggered.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reaction is caused by direct damage to skin cells and their DNA by harmful ultraviolet rays. Dr. Franks explains that by turning off or lessening the inflammation, you can limit collateral damage to the skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrompt treatment is necessary,\u201d she says. \u201cApplication of an anti-inflammatory steroid cream should be a first line of treatment. Medicines like Advil or Motrin, so-called \u2018nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,\u2019 or NSAIDS, will help, but you need to take them within the first few hours after the sunburn.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, be sure to avoid any further sun exposure, wear loose, breathable clothing and stay well hydrated. Drinking extra liquids is important because burns draw fluids to the skin\u2019s surface. It\u2019s possible to become dehydrated while a burn heals because these fluids are being pulled from other places in the body.<\/p>\n

Over the next few days after a sunburn, cool baths and showers may relieve irritation and pain. To avoid drying, don\u2019t stay in the water too long, and be sure to apply a water-based moisturizing lotion to still-damp skin. Avoid petroleum or oil-based moisturizers, as they may trap heat and make the burn worse.<\/p>\n

Bringing Burns to the Doctor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Though anti-inflammatory medicines, moisturizing and hydration will gradually take care of most minor burns, sometimes the damage is serious enough to merit a trip to the doctor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe severity and depth of inflammation from sunburn can be equivalent to a second or third-degree burn,\u201d Dr. Franks says. \u201cBlistering and deep damage to the lower layers of the skin lead to loss of skin, infection and scarring.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you do develop blistering, especially over large areas, you should seek medical treatment from a professional. You should also visit the doctor if you feel woozy, feverish or develop chills after a sunburn.<\/p>\n

The most important thing to remember during your recovery from a sunburn, however, is how to prevent another one! Dr. Franks recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher during this extra-sensitive time. Of course, this should be part of a complete sun protection strategy<\/a> that includes covering up with clothing and seeking the shade, which will help keep skin protected and comfortable during summer vacation or any other time.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
