Chasing a summer glow? You may want to think twice.
A woman was hospitalized with third grade burns and went unable to walk for a week after a sunny day spirited in a nightmare, all because of a disastrous mistake.
“I will never forget this,” said Taylor Faith (@.taylorfaith) in a recent Tiktok video that detailed the painful experience.
On her way to Paddle Board, the content creator realized that she was out of sun protection. Instead of stopping buying more, Taylor chose to go without, assuming that he only obtained a tan or, in the worst, a mild burn.
But after eight hours of cooking in the water, the legs were severely dragged, forcing it to travel to the hospital. The doctors diagnosed him with a rare and dangerous solar burning of the third degree, which damages the three layers of the skin and often requires emergency treatment.
“I never thought that would happen to me until I did,” Taylor admitted in a comment. “It’s so bad a few days ago I thought I would rather be [dead] than to feel so. “
Solar burns occur when too ultraviolet (UV) light penetrates the deepest layers of the skin, causing damage to cells over time, according to the Mayo clinic.
The immune system reacts by increasing blood flow to the area, which involves the inflammation we recognize as solar burns.
Most sunburn is mild and cured in a few days, but third grade burns are a different story. They can damage the nerve endings, the blood vessels, the sweat glands, the follicles and the deep tissue, according to the Cleveland clinic.
Third -degree burns also risk heat disease, which has symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, exhaustion, fast breathing, fever, headache, muscle ramps and nausea.
Taylor said he spent violently ill hours after the afternoon in the sun.
“My interiors are seriously damaged and all my blood vessels are too,” he said in another comment. “I think this life lesson will make me a sun protection activist.”
While solar burns end up healing, they may have negative persistent effects. Exposure to the repeated sun and burns accelerate the aging of the skin, causing wrinkles, falls, discoloration, broken capillaries, unequal tone and a rugged and leather texture.
Excessive sun exposure also increases the possibilities of developing skin cancer, including melanoma. Even solar burns supported during childhood and adolescence can increase this risk later in life.
Anyone can burn -solar, but the most at risk include people than:
- Have clear skin, freckles, blue eyes or red or blond hair
- Tan regularly or use tanning beds
- Lives at high altitudes or near the equator
- Devote a lot of outdoor time to sports, swimming or working
The good news? You do not need to become a vampire to protect yourself from solar burns.
The FDA recommends limiting the sun exposure between 10 and 2 p.m., when UV rays are stronger.
When you are outside, wear protective clothes and use wide spectrum sunscreen – most experts ask to use at least SPF 30.
Apply sun protection generously to all exposed skin, paying special attention to the nose, ears, neck, hands, feet and lips. If you have thinning hair, cover the top of the head or bring a hat.
The agency recommends re -applying sun protection every two hours, or more often if they swim or sweat. An average adult or child needs approximately one ounce of sun protection (about a glass of shot) to cover the body evenly.
“You cannot reverse the damage of sunburn, but once you have a burn, you can soothe your skin and give it time to cure,” Dr. Edwin Kuffner, medical director of Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. told the company.
Recommend showers or fresh bathrooms to relieve and drink many liquids to keep it hydrated. Most people can also use free sale soothes such as acetaminofen to relieve discomfort.
Kuffner emphasized the importance of keeping the skin burned hydrated to help -to cure it faster, as with Aloe Vera.
If you have to go outside with a burn, it is OK to apply sun protection to the affected areas, as long as the skin is not blown or raw, he pointed.
