The doctor explained when you need to urgently see a doctor after a sunburn

Chief physician of the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center of Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology Olga Zhukova shared recommendations for skin care after a sunburn and named signs for which you should immediately seek medical help. The Evening Moscow publication writes about this.

According to Zhukova, after a sunburn it is recommended to use cooling lotions and then moisturize the skin to avoid drying out. 

“After-sun products or medical aerosols against sunburn will do an excellent job with this task,” the doctor noted.

She emphasized that it is necessary to consult a doctor if the burn covers a large area , accompanied by chills, fever or severe pain. 

“These symptoms may indicate serious skin damage and a general deterioration in health,” Zhukova explained.
