Question

Can avoiding the sun provide sunburn relief?

Answer 1

Avoid the sun. Until your sunburn heals, stay out of the sun.

You may be able to treat the sunburn yourself. But call for a doctor's help if you notice any of these more serious sunburn signs:

• Fever of 102 degrees or higher
• Chills
• Severe pain
• Sunburn blisters that cover 20% or more of your body
• Dry mouth, thirst, reduced urination, dizziness, and fatigue, which are signs of dehydration
