Sunburn

A sunburn is the skin's reaction to too much UV radiation. A mild case normally consists of redness and peeling with slight discomfort or pain, while more severe sunburns can result in blisters, fever, chills, weakness and might even lead to skin cancer.

To treat mild cases of sunburn, administering a cold compress and aloe gel will soothe the burns, while ibuprofen can be taken for any pain. Avoid opening any blisters, as infection might follow. Also, do not subject skin to the sun again until the burn has disappeared, as this could slow the healing process.

Sun Poisoning

Sun poisoning, scientifically known as photodermatitis, is a photoallergy, and also a result of the skin's reaction to UV rays. At times it can be caused by medication or topical creams, like scented lotions, applied to the skin that react negatively to sunlight. It can also be triggered by autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, or by a vitamin deficiency. It commonly exhibits itself as a rash on the affected areas. It can be treated by cleaning the area, and also by using a cold compress and aloe.

Sunstroke

Sunstroke, aka hyperthermia is when the body is subject to more heat than it can handle. It is predominantly caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Once it sets in, the body cannot effectively control its temperature, and in essence begins to break down. Perspiration is the body's natural temperature gauge, but when a person becomes dehydrated, he loses his ability to sweat, and that's when it becomes dangerous. Symptoms of heat stroke include headache, confusion, dizziness and fainting caused by low blood pressure as a result of dehydration. Staying beneath an auto tilt umbrella will keep you a few degrees cooler than in the direct sun and is one of the key things you can do to ensure your safety. If not caught early enough, heart rate and respiration will increase, the skin will turn a bluish color, and chills and fever will ensure. From there, it may lead to convulsions, vomiting, temporary blindness, and even coma.
