Natural Treatment for Sunburn
By Jane Sheppard
Although moderate sunshine is healthy, children
can easily get too much sun. A safe sunscreen
or protective clothing should be used if spending
long periods of time in the sun. If your child
does get a sunburn:
Aloe vera rubbed on the skin is very healing
and soothing. Use raw aloe vera gel cut from
the whole leaf or aloe products made from
a substantial amount of real aloe.
Give your child a cool (not cold) bath with
a few drops of lavender or chamomile essential
oils, or gently apply cool, wet compresses
to the skin.
To rehydrate the skin, apply a gentle moisturizing
cream. Do not use petroleum-based products
since they prevent excess heat and sweat from
escaping. Avoid any products that contain
benzocaine, which may cause skin irritation
or allergy.
Keep your child out of the sun until completely
healed. If blisters develop, do not let him
or her scratch, pop, or squeeze the blisters.
They can easily become infected and cause
scarring.
Heat exhaustion or heat stroke can be accompanied
by sunburn and can happen when kids become
very overheated and dehydrated. These conditions
are serious. Call the doctor if along with
the sunburn, there is an unexplained fever
higher than 102 degrees, the skin looks infected,
or your child has trouble looking at light.
Also call the doctor if your child experiences
nausea, vomiting, fainting, delirium, or diarrhea
when overheated.
