i got sunburn and there are many blisters and when i apply aloe it turns to a blue color im not sure why this is happening help!
Answer:
ok, if you have many blisters than you have a partial thickness burn, you need medical treatment - excision and i would hope the use of a product called biobrane! go to a hospital, ask for this procedure if they can't or won't go to another hospital - if you live in the cities i have listed below go to the hospitals with burns units! the aloe is blue because thats its colour and it isn't being absorbed into your skin - too much damage, cover with cling wrap and go to a burns unit! cold water is the best first aid, never ice this will also cause further damage. never milk screw wikipedia they don't know what i do!(plus a bunch of good doctors)ok if you push on the burnt area and the colour disappears and then returns quickly (ie flushed to pale and quickly back to flushed) then you should be fine - i wouldn't want to diagnose over the net tho. this is a balnching test it tested whether you still have blood flow and capillary refilling. if there is no change or it takes more than 3-5 seconds for colour to return (compare to you fingernails as far as speed and colour is concerned) then the answer is go to a doctor! one whop knows burns or can talk to someone who knows burns!a product called burn aid is also good if you can find itnever put milk or yogurt or any food substance as this may reduce pain but it increases chances of infection.if you have blisters cover your burn with cling wrap then a cool towel and go to a hospital that has a burns unit
Adelaide - royal Adelaide hospital
Perth - royal Perth (i think)
Melbourne - prince Alfred
sorry thats all the hospitals i knowif it isn't that bad put on pure aloe vera (thanks everyone for drumming that in) but then as soon as you put on so much that your skin isn't absorbing all of the aloe cover your burn with paraffin wax or aqueous cream (paraffin wax and glycerine). the aloe will help re hydrate and the paraffin simulates the protecting layer of skin and oils your body normally produces (obviously it isn't in the case of a burn as the skin is damaged). this seals in fluids and moisture and protects your skin and relives the pain of wind and the other that really hurt because your skin is sensitised and unprotected. reapply the paraffin and aloe every 4-6hours and stay well hydrated. replacing lost water and salts is important. you may experience heart burn if you have a large area burnt = see a doctor who knows burnsso to sum up - only cold water -no ice - no oils - no hot water - nothing organic (milk or anything)
blisters equals partial thickness burn (second degree) which means you should prolly see a burns doctor (as for a consult/referral)
moisturise your skin and seal that moisture in!
drink water or power aide or gatoraide or similarthe test for a doctor knowing about burns is agreeing with this post or holding a textbook entitled 'total burn care'
aloe is blue it's normal...lol
If it is blistering you need to go to doc or er, you have a more severe burn, than a usual light sunburn..
go to a doctor
PUT VASILINE ON IT!!! REALLY IT DOES HELP!!
Because of the blisters, go to your dr. to get a perscription lotion.
There is no immediate cure for sunburns, but the pain can be relieved by hydrating the skin. This is done by applying products containing aloe, aloe with Lidocane, or vitamin E. Drinking fluids can aid in hydration, and eating high protein foods will assist tissue repair. Analgesics such as acetaminophen (i.e. Tylenol) or ibuprofen (i.e. Advil) can also reduce pain. One method to treatment involves applying a clean washcloth soaked with cool milk like a cold compress, since the lactic acid will help reduce inflammation and the cool towel will soothe the pain.Blistered skin, with or without open sores, should heal on its own. As with any other open skin wound, it is best to avoid lotions or other directly applied ointments. However, antibacterial solutions and gauze can prevent skin infections.The best treatment for most sunburns is time. Given a few weeks, they will heal. Overall, the most important aspect of sunburn care is to avoid the sun while healing, and to take precautions to prevent future burns.
gosh you must be burned really bad. i would just keep putting the aloe on because eventually it will help it. noxema helps too.
What I use that really works for quickly getting rid of the sunburn is Palmer's Cocoa Butter. But not the stuff in a bottle. It's more like a wax that comes in a jar. It's the same stuff my tattoo artist told me to put on my tattoo. So I imagine that it's great for healing skin and keeping it from drying out.I put that on my sunburn and the redness is gone in a couple days. Good luck with it!
Noxema takes away the sting, take advil for the swelling and pain, drinks lots of water
aloe every few hours and take something for pain
Use Aloe Vera.
If you have an Aloe Vera plant, cut off a piece of it and rub it against your sunburnt area. ORIf you don't have an aloe vera plant, you can go to any kind of store and find various products to help your sunburn. :)
hmmm. this is weird, did u ask youre mom or dad or something, id say go to the doctors
the best thing is the alovera plant. it is a cactus and will help your sunburn. i know this for sure. take one leave and split it , then rub the juice on your sunburn. use as needed. it works.
You may want to go see a doc if it is that bad. They have things that will help, just gotta sit through the lecture. Sunburn sucks and unfortunately there are no quick fixes. I feel for you.
ow... hope u feel better
first, i dont really know why ur aloe turns blue, it might just be that is how it works... i dont think you realy need to worry about it though
since u do have blistering though, it is a first degree burn, so u may POSSIBLY need medical attention... but only if u cant stand it for another second and it burns/hurts like no other
here are some things you could do to help it though:-Most importantly, avoid repeated exposure to the sun or
solarium.
-Apply cold compresses or immerse the affected area in
cool water.
-Calamine lotion may be applied to itchy areas.
-Apply a moisturising cream or lotion to the affected areas;
however, you should avoid salves or butter.
-Drink plenty of water, but avoid alcohol which can dehydrate
the skin even further.
-If blistering occurs, lightly bandage or cover with gauze to
prevent infection. Do not break the blisters as this will slow
the healing process and increase the risk of infection. When
the blisters break and the skin peels you can remove dried
-fragments and apply an antiseptic ointment or
hydrocortisone cream to the skin beneath.
-In cases of severe pain or discomfort, aspirin (but not in
children under the age of 12), paracetamol or pain relief
such as ibuprofen may be taken.
-A hot shower immediately after mild sunburn can bring
about peeling sooner and rid you quickly of discomfort.
-Vitamins taken internally or applied.
be sure that if the sunburn blisters are accompanied by chills, fever, nausea or vomiting. Medical attention is needed to prevent dehydration and infectionjust again to make sure to stay out of sun... just wait a couple days, catch up on some z's or do something that doesnt expose that part of the body to the sun...
wut i did: stay inside and lay on something SOFT! and watch tv
be lazy for a couple days
One time i got sun burnt so bad, I could barely move It hurt so bad. the blisters came almost right away. My mother told me about this old fashioned remedy that surprisingly worked. You take vinegar and milk and rub it on your skin all over the burn. Smells kind of gross but i got a good nights sleep. Good luck and hope this works for you.
