While a majority of sunburns are easily treated with a little bit of Aloe Vera and staying in side an extra day or two, some can result in an emergency room visit if not taken care of properly. According to research in Dermatology, there were 34,000 ER visits in the U.S. in 2013 due to serious sunburns. If your sunburn results in nausea, confusion, headache or extreme pain or chills, you should see a doctor. Of course all of this can be easily prevented by practicing good sun protection habits for yourself and whoever you are supervising during your time outside. Sunburns can result in more serious and detrimental outcomes in the future that negatively impact your overall health and well-being, so do everything you can to avoid even a minor burn.
