My daughter, who is very fair, has a severe, blistering sunburn. We're treating it with silver sulfadiazine. A sunburn, even with blistering, is considered a first-degree burn.
Treatment is aimed at relieving discomfort and preventing infection.
Do not prick the blisters or try to remove them. There is nothing you can do to prevent peeling. Sometimes a mild fever and headache will accompany a severe sunburn. Cool compresses, Tylenol and drinking lots of liquids usually help people feel better in a few days. If you notice any signs of infection on the burn areas, consult your physician.
