Sunburn is the process of reddening of the skin due to exposure to powerful Ultraviolet rays of the Sun. The skin color changes gradually changing into bright red or pink and there may be some lesions or blisters on the affected area. Unfortunately there is no cut-short treatment to the sunburn blister like other diseases. The damage done to the skin is permanent and any type of remedy can try to reduce the symptoms only.
How do Sunburn Blisters are Formed?
When the body is exposed to sunlight for prolonged time the body’s defense mechanism gets exhausted because of the powerful UV rays of the sun. Hence the skin gets reddish which later forms few blisters or bumps on the affected area.
Exposure to sunlight is the only reason for getting blisters or sunburn. People who are fair complexioned and those who have dry skin type are more prone to develop sunburn blisters than others. Hence it is imperative to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
Symptoms :
Initial symptoms may not appear for few hours after exposure to sunlight. You have to wait for one day or two for the signs to appear. The skin becomes red and tender and becomes warm to touch. Subsequently blisters may develop and some people may get fever or chills. There may be skin rashes or peeling of the skin in the affected area which may take several days or weeks for heal. Some people may develop burning sensation on the skin after few hours.
You may feel pain in the surface of the skin that is affected by sunlight. Acute sun exposure may cause skin cancer which is serious and life-threatening.
Though the symptoms would heal after few weeks, the damage done to the skin is permanent. In case of severe sunburn, skin starts blistering away from the surface.
