Q: I got burnt on my cheeks and forehead, as well as some of my chest. How long will the sunburn last?

A: Hello,How long a sunburn lasts depends on the part of the skin involved and the degree of the burn or the severity of the sunburn. Apply cool compresses on the area and take bath with cool(not very cold) water. Do not scrub your skin or shave your skin and use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry. Also use a sunburn Over-The-Counter remedy containing aloe vera and a light moisturizer or a dusting powder to relieve chafing.You can apply silver sulfadiazine (1% cream) on the skin except face and see if it helps.If the symptoms still persist then you should consult a dermatologist and discuss the option of dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

I have plans tomorrow with my friends and Wednesday I’m going to a concert.

A: Okay so me and a friend of mine fell asleep on a lake once. When I woke up, I had second degree burns on my back. I know they were second degree burns because for one, I couldnt move, and two, my gramma the nurse of 45 years said so. So my mom had to cut the shirt off my back to get it off but she wasnt much help in healing the pain. So…I called the one person who can ALWAYS help. Gramma!! I’ll tell you what she did, but i dont know how strong of a person you are because the pain got worse before it got better. But i did as she said and when i woke up the next morning I couldnt feel a thing I PROMISE!!!I don’t know if you’ve tried putting ice on it. If you have Im sure you’ve discovered that it’s worse pain then the original burn (especially when REMOVING the ice…)So gramma gets 2 large ziplock bags and fills them with one single layer of ice.I layed on my back and she placed them on my burn with a heavy herbal bag on top to weigh it down. I clenched the pillow with all my strength to fight the pain because I know she knows what shes doing…Eventually the pain subsides (goes numb) and I fell asleep.The next morning I woke up and couldnt feel a thing. Your skin is really hot before you put ice on it so using ice lowers the temperature of your skin to decrease the pain. Your burn will still be there but won’t hurt anymore. Try to find someone who has a real aloe vera plant. Cut a piece of and mix the sticky filling and spread it on your back. It stinks but helps alot.IT WILL HURT MORE THEN EVER FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BUT IS SOOOO WORTH IT THE NEXT MORNING!!P.S. I was only 12 when i had to go through this….I hope that helps to encourage you NOT to be a pansy, lolWARNING: People may tell you to use Aloe Vera GEL…DO NOT do it!!! When I got this burn my mom put the aloe vera gel on me…OMG…it dried up and the only way to get it off was to get a towel wet and wipe it off…NOT A GOOD FEELING AT ALL!!! If your really burnt you know how bad that would hurt. So try REAL aloe vera!!
