Your pharmacist's advice on treating sunburn with homeopathy
- If sunburn results in blistering, disinfect with aqueous chlorhexidine (as with Diaseptyl spray), and apply a hydrocolloid dressing(Urgo burn).
- Never re-expose an unhealed sunburn to the sun, as there is a risk of skin cancer later on.
- For small burns, run the affected area under cold running water for at least 5 minutes to stop deep-tissue burning.
- Caution! Extensive or deep burns always require medical attention.
