Keep area clean: Make sure to keep the burned area clean with soap and water. Topical antibiotic ointment will help prevent infection and help with reepithelialization. If the wound does not improve in the next few days, seek medical evaluation.

Keep sunburn cool w: compresses. Avoid alcohol containing products. Break off pieces of aloe vera plant & apply sap to skin. Consider non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds to reduce pain. Don’t yank off peeling skin or burst blisters. Seek med care for severe pain, fever, lack of improvement of sxs w/i several days or if a large surface area is blistered. Drink H2O.
