Sun burn treatment

Preventing sunburn year-round by wearing sunscreen or using other skin-protection habits is important for everyone. It is especially important when you're outdoors, even on cool or cloudy days. See your health care provider if you:

• Develop blisters on the face, hands or genitals

• Experience severe swelling of the affected area

• Show signs of infection, such as blisters with pus or streaks

• Experience worsening pain, headache, nausea, fever or chills

• Get worse despite at-home care
