A member asked:
I was in infrared sauna. last time i felt sunburned after ir-sauna. it had been 1 week now and im still feeling sunburned.is it a damage?what to do?

Probable burn: It sounds as though the skin absorbed too much thermal energy and you have a mild burn. This may take several weeks to heal. Stay away from any further use of the ir device for now. If you do not notice improvement, you should be seen by a dermatologist.
