At Rocky Mount Family Medical, we can provide treatment to patients who are suffering from second-and third-degree sunburns. In many cases, second-degree sunburns can be treated at home with over-the-counter sunburn treatments, however, if symptoms aren’t improving after a few days, it is worth having one of our primary care doctors take a look. We will check your sunburn for any signs of infection, as well as provide treatment recommendations for managing the pain and suggestions to help minimize the damage and scarring that a severe sunburn can cause. Sunstroke and heat stroke are caused by the same conditions that can cause sunburn, so our primary care physicians will check you for signs of either condition and let you know what to watch for at home. Treating these conditions early can help to reduce the chance of severe complications and damage to the internal organs. When your sunburn covers a large area of your body or is blistering, if you have blisters appearing on the hands, face, or genitals, or if there is severe swelling, then you should seek medical attention at primary care. You should also seek medical attention if you have signs of an infection such as pain, pus, or red streaks associated with an open blister, if you are experiencing a fever over 103 degrees or if you are feeling confused, or dehydrated, or have experienced any fainting.
