Dr. Scott Hamstra answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Be patient: Your body will heal - lips often remarkably quickly. No need to 'treat' -- but can do a few things to make it feel better while it heals. After the first few minutes -- many people like using cool or cold to relieve pain - popsickles or an ice cube in a wet washcloth can be soothing. Pain relievers can be used if really painful.

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?
