Ok I was boating not to long ago and I got Sun burned. My friends mom told me to put Vinegar on it because it would take the sting away but it gave me a bunch of sun blisters on my chest. And one day overnight the Blister went down and when I woke up it was barely there. And so I peeled it off, but it wasnt such a good idea. I started to get all red and veiny in that spot. But now Its starting to peel but its still red. And I dont really know what to about it. So if you know what to do Please reply.
Peeps answered Saturday June 12 2010, 12:27 pm: I recently had sunblisters too! It's actually caused by sun poisoning and it should probably be checked out by a doctor to make sure you're healing up correctly. In some cases, you may need antibiotics when the blisters began to break open.
You need to be more careful in the sun, too. It is a sign that you may actually becoming allergic to strong amounts of sunlight so take it easy. Limit yourself in direct sunlight and start (especially if you're on medications or birth control pills) applying some creams to help cut that down anyway.
I am pretty surprised nobody had an answer for you at all.
Don't peel the skin, actually. Let it come off naturally. Peeling it can cause more damage. Let it come off as it wants. If you absolutely must (ie: it's way toooo uncomfortable) then do a light scrubbing in the shower.
Has some good ideas on getting relief from sunburn and the peeling that happens afterward. It's important to keep your body hydrated right now so that it can heal fast. When I had the blistered I put the Noxzema on myself and it REALLY helped. I put it on thickly, let it dry, and then washed it off as normal. It helped cool the area, moisturize it, and soothe the itch.
