Could it be alright to wash your face with sun poisoning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Hardin answered

Very carefully: If you have blisters or facial swelling get medical help. Otherwise wash a burned face with cool water, soft cloth and mild soap don't scrub pat it dry with soft cloth.
