Question 6

what is commonly used to heal sun blisters?

Accepted Answer

Natural Process: With injury to our skin, inflammation occurs which means the area becomes red, warm, tender and with swelling. Swelling occurs under the skin layers and causes them to bulge creating a protective fluid cushion called a blister.   As the area heals, the fluid will be resorbed or when no longer needed, the blister opens and it drains.   This should take about a week. Keep them covered and protected.

Question 7

how should i treat my baby's sunburn?  there's no blistering.

Accepted Answer

Cool soaks.: Soak some washcloths or small towels in cool water and apply them frequently. For a baby, there's not much else to do except wait it out. The involved skin will peel as it heals - that's normal. But please learn a lesson from this and apply a good broad-spectrum sunscreen to your baby (and yourself) whenever you go out in the sun. If you're out there for awhile, reapply it frequently.

Question 8

is it a myth that sunburn before age 18 is the most harmful? after 18 i began to be very careful with sun exposure before i had about 5 bad sunburns and one blistering one?

Accepted Answer

Don't think so: At least in med school we were taught that sunburns prior to age 21  were associated with a higher risk of skin cancer over one's lifetime. It has been a while since I reviewed the data but I don't have any reason to doubt it.

Question 9

if careful thereafter, would a blistering sunburn in uv 11 or accumulative moderate sun exposure over a persons life time be worse? ive read its the uv exposure associated with the burn not the burn itself that is harmful?

Accepted Answer

Both : Increase incidence of skin cancer has been noted in these with severe sunburns, and the collective damage from repeated sun exposure increases the chances of skin cancers, wrinkles, and weathered skin changes. Use sun blocking/hydrating products when in sun, eat healthy foods, get adequate  rest, and use skin emollients on a regular basis and don’t smoke.

Question 10
