Ive been in the sun for two days stright and now I got sun posion.. Im itching like crazy and my eyes are swelling up,my hands are puffy also not to mention by back is puffy a litte bit~ I've been taking some medications to stop the itching for 4-6 hours but I don't want to contuine taking the medication awful a lot. It's unreal and I've looked up on the net, and it said that doctors can treated it but I don't want to go unless I got to. Any Advice on how to treat a sun posion ~ at home? It's a rash I have all over...... uggh anything will help please let me know thanks

Do you mean sun burn? Or poison?
 
i suggest you to buy aloe gel and put it on your skin.. it helps peel off and it worked for me.. as for eye swelling and the puffing.. you might want to see a doctor! Don't itch.. I know you want to but just leave them alone and it would heal faster.. just think about something else and focus on it! :)

Yeah, I second that! That green gel. It works so well on me and my boys. My boys get skin burned easily from playing nearly all day long outside. Shame on me for not putting sunblock on them. :(

I learn my lesson. Heh.
 
heh.. I learned that from my mom.. I forgot where to get it through.. dollar stores right? :dunno:

Drink alots of water and stay out of the sun until you are healed completely and make wise use of your time in the sun outdoors and always be under a shade because it is cooler there. You risk very severe deyhdration. Drink alots of water now and keep drinking until you are naturally full in your stomach with plenty of water in your stomach.

Trust me Ive used half of the bottle of aloe gel all over it, it's a rash that the Sun poisoning is most likely to occur during hot seasons when ultraviolet light is strongest. It is triggered by exposure to the sun, usually in conjunction with sunburn.

It seems like the aloe gel isn't working so im using lotion with aloe in it... it still itching like crazy,, my eyes and everything is not a puffy as yesterday and it's getting better, but my itching on my legs and arms and face isn't stoping... there isn't really much that the doctor an do about it but tell me to buy medications over the counter which I am areaddy!
 
You can get these aloe gel anywhere. I got mine from Walmart years ago. Maybe you can find some in the dollar store. Try "Dollar Tree." :)

The aloe gel is not like lotion. You apply the gel on your body and rub lightly onto your skin. It will still feel wet, but let it dry naturally. :)

Early morning cool hours and late at night when it is much more cooler are good times or excersice in the privacy of your home with the air conditioner on full blast. Ahhh !!!!!! and Take alots of icy cold baths to help with your skin too as well as regulating your body temperature, icy cold baths help stop the itching really good. I never had sun posion. I have had a sunburn. Sunburns are also are no fun too.

Ice Green Aloe Gel is good one... it doesn't work IMMEDIATELY, it takes time to get the itching away. It works for me. When I got my skin itched, I put some gel on it, and few hours later, I applied some more until the itching went away.
