How To Treat Sunburn Without Medicine?

I got sunburned three days ago, my forehead felt thick, today my eyes have a watery sack hanging off the bridge of my nose. No pain, just uncomfortable. Anything I can do without medicine. I am on so many now. Thanks. PS...I see my doctor on Tuesday the 9th of June.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per you query you have sun burn due to which you felt thickness on forehead , this is because your skin is very sensitive to sun and leads to accumulation of UV rays of sun in deeper skin layers and leads to hyperpigmentaion and thick patchy feel.

Need not to worry about it. Avoid exposure to sun and if ever you have to go cover your skin with wet cloth.

Apply sun screen which is medicated and rich in SPF 30 i.e Tan Care. Take peel of mashed potatoes and apply on face for 15 mins. on daily basis to prevent sun burn.

Take cotton swab and dip it in tea tree oil and apply on forehead and face to lighten effect of sun burn.

Apply aloe vera gel or apple cedar vinegar on these patches after sun burn and get better relief.

Take diet rich in vitamin C. Replenish fluids and rehydrate body with water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
