A member asked:
Is this true? taking aspirin when you feel sunburn coming on can block the inflammation and decrease the severity of the burn.

Yes to mild degree: This may of completely reduce the inflammation and there is better evidence to suggest that this is mor defectively accomplished with other anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen. It will not prevent a sunburn.
