Graham St. • Shelby, NC 28150 704-600-6003 • 704-600-6004 www.rlutzlaw.com Simple Ways To Ease The ‘Ouch’ Sunblock -- and its adequate re- application -- is one of the single most effective ways to prevent sunburn and a host of sun-related maladies. De- spite the warnings of skin cancer and ailments related to the sun, people succumb to sunburn year after year. The results can be quite painful. According to the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention, getting sunburned even once can make a person more likely to get skin can- cer. Though it can be that simple to increase risk for skin cancer, there’s actually quite a lot going on behind the scenes when a person gets a sunburn. The very outer layer of the epidermis, or the outside-most skin, is made up of dead skin cells. Directly below them are living skin cells that can be damaged when ultraviolet light from the sun penetrates these living cells and eventually kills them off. Once the body senses the dead cells, the immune system springs into action. White blood cells are sent to the area to repair damage, which involves increased blood fl ow. This blood fl ow makes the skin red and warm. Furthermore, the damaged skin cells send out chemical messengers that activate pain receptors. This is why sunburned skin is red, warm and painful. There are different remedies for alleviating the pain associated with sunburn. While there are some over-the-counter analgesics that will temporarily numb pain, some of the best treatments are simple and natural. • Cool water baths and brief showers can reduce the temperature of the skin. • Aloe gels often soothe and cool. It is believed that aloe has anti- infl ammatory properties. • Some people say that white vinegar can reduce pain and in- fl ammation when sprayed on the affected area or used in com- presses. • Sunburned skin is often dry and chapped. A moisturizer, such as cocoa butter, can help minimize irritation. • It’s important to remain hydrated because damaged skin may not be as effective in locking moisture inside. Plus, the body needs food and water to fuel the repair of sunburned skin. The best remedy for sunburn is to avoid it at all costs. Wear- ing sunblock, a wide-brimmed hat, UV-protection clothing, and sunglasses and avoiding the sun during peak hours are ways to remain comfortable and healthy.
