What else can I do about my sunburn?!
Question: What else can I do about my sunburn!?
This past Sunday I went to the beach, I staid there for 7 hours, by the time I got home I was in pain!. I have a high pain tolerance level, this time around I ended up crying!. My burns are on my legs, arms, neck, face!. The ones on the legs look almost purple and didn't blister, but I can see my blood vessels!. My arms are the same way as my legs but with the differance that I did blister!. Both my legs and arms are so swollen I can't even move!. I don't know what hurts the most!.!. the swolling or the burn!. My neck and face aren't as bad, they have begin to peel!. I have been taking ibuprofen 3 pills every 4 hrs but ran out of it so now I am taking 3 tylenol every 4hrs, I have tried aloe and cold showers, but it seems to make it worse, i can't even stand the water hitting my skin (i cry)!. I am now using lodicaine spray and gel and it helps numb the pain a bit for a while, but that is it!. I thought of going to a hospital but people keep on telling me they will only tell me to take cold showers and take ibuprofen!. I don't feel my burns are first degree, I look as if I was taking out of a pot of boiling water!. could it be 2nd or 3rd degree!? It is now Friday and there isn't much healing going on!.!. my heart feels tired now, i get arrythmias from the pain, and I havebeen sleeping for long hours, I don't even notice anything going on around me, its as if i lose conciousness!. I havent been wearing any clothes all this time, I can't even get up from bed to go to the restroom, I want toi die!. help!. comments!. anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You probably have 2nd degree burns, and you should try to see a doctor if you can!. Take you temperature and make sure you don't have a fever!. If you do, you need to see a doctor!. Stop taking so many pills, 2 every 4-6 hours is enough!. There are better burn relief products available over the counter than lodicaine spray, that spray is for simple sunburns, you need something more serious, for real burns!. Talk to the pharmacist at the drug store if you can't afford to see a doctor, and he will be able to help you find something that will help better - probably a greasy ointment that will feel SOOOO good when you put it on!. You can also buy aloe at the grocery store, slice that down the middle and smear it on right out of the plant, it will feel good and you can do it as often as you want!.
Whatever you do now, you'll feel better in 2-3 days, and you will peal a lot!. Keep it moist, stay cool, and see a doctor if you can!. He can give you pain killers and better medicine to stop you from getting sploches and scars!. Feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
