What Happens If My Child Gets Sunburn?
When children get a sunburn, they usually feel pain and warmth – these symptoms get worse after few hours of sunburn. Some even get cold. As the sun dries their skin, it becomes itchy and tight. The skin, which has been exposed to the sun begins to pare about a week after sunburn. Encourage your child not to peel off the skin because it can be harmful after the skin gets sunburnt.
To Treat Sunburn:
Give your baby a cold bath, or gently rub a damp cloth on their skin to relieve pain and heat.
Apply pure aloe vera gel (available at most pharmacies) to burned areas.
If the sunburn is very severe and sharp, call your doctor. Tell your child not to scratch the skin, otherwise, it can become infected.
Keep your child away from the sun until the wound heals. Any other solar radiation will only aggravate the burn and increase the pain.
UV-protective hats also help to protect your kids skin from direct sunlight and provide a high level of protection. It’s a good idea to wear these stylish sun hat in the sun, recommended by many dermatologists because they protect our skin from ultraviolet radiation and provide protection from sun exposure.
