What Could Sunburns With Sickness & Vomiting Suggest?
I was out in the sun a lot over the weekend and got a pretty bad sunburn. I have pretty fair skin, and whenever I apply a tiny bit of pressure to the burn the skin slides off and the new skin shows underneath which stings like a brush burn. Also, I've been feeling sick and vomiting. Any suggestions to help with the pain? And there wont be any permanent damage, right?

hi..you got the sunburn..but you did.t mention the area..fair people have less amount of melanin in their body so they are more exposed to sunburn..you should wash the burnt area ,keep it clean , apply some anti biotic cream like polyfax plus, use some anti allergic and some painkillers like ibuprofen ..the skin will heal but after that you must take care of the skin by using sunblock with higher sun protection factor..
the vomiting is not associated with sunburn..but when you feel sick it may occur with it.you shuld take some anti emetic like metomide, or phenarazine .hope you will be fine after using this treatment,,
