If a person has already encountered such a problem and his skin has suffered from the sun, then he should not pay attention to folk methods.

For example, smearing the affected areas of skin with sour cream, kefir. Such products can only cause harm.

Therapist Ivan Romasov told Doctor Peter about this.

He noted that the fat found in fermented milk products creates an excellent environment for harmful bacteria.

The situation can also be made worse by using ointments, putting ice on the affected areas of skin, wearing tight clothing when the problem occurs, or popping the blisters.

In addition, you should not use soap, other products that dry the skin, or decorative cosmetics on the affected areas.

In case of a burn, you can take a cold shower, apply a moisturizer, and also drink more clean water. It is better to cover the burn with a thick cloth.

If you are bothered by pain, you can take medication. In case of a serious problem, you should consult a doctor.
