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

DoofusMama said:If you have sun poison.. and allergic to sun.. since you described to us..
my advise .. GO ER or Urgent Care..
because... if you are allergic.. all that reactions can be swellen and can cause your breathing trouble..
OR... maybe your sunburn is overburn of limit.. 1st degree - 2nd degree so forth..
Best safe... GO see dr.. I am sure dr will you better medience for relief..for the pain and itching.. maybe allergic pill ..
hope you are ok

Take Bendentryl (if you have rash or sun fever like watery eyes, sneezes)
Put Ice Green Aloe (green or blue gel) all over your sunburns and poison areas.
(RECOMMENDATION - if you have green gel or blue gell "Aloe gel", PUT them in the refridgerator and it will get cold, and when you have sunburnts or poision, you use that from refridgerator, it will keep it COLD and COOL your itch. I have 3 of them, and all in my refridgerator. And it works really well and feeling the cold gel.. It's feel GOOOOD!)
Then wear something LOOSE clothes... No heavy shirt...
Next time, put sunscreens on your skins, no matter if there is no sun or not...
You can still get sunburnt if the sky is cloudy...
If your skins have blisters, better go to urgent clinic (doctor). If it is bloody red, GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!!

Jolie_77 said:I'm glad you're doing okay after this but of course the Sunburn/Sun Poision is not a fun thing to have. I've usually done the home remedy which HELPS a heap alot. I don't know if that will be adaptable to the sun poision but it does work great with the sun burns. The remedy would be - get a bottle of vinegar and pour it in the water (of course in the bath tub) and soak your whole body in there for at least 30 mins or so. I know the vinegar has a strong scent to it and I have always hated smelling the vinegar but it is worth the job! The vinegar will be able to absorb the heat that is in your skin due to the sun but however, You'll still be able to have the redness on your skin. The heat will be reduced much better and less painful after a vinegar bath. Just my 2 cents![]()

Cassbugs said:wow, Im glad you post this, I got a jug of vineger sitting on my counter top.. I will def.. try that tonight, but the thing is it's sun poision but I will give it a try and hopfully it will kill the itching and absorb the heat in my skin! Thank you!
I tried it tonight.. Put 1 cup of vinegar in warm bath water, I soaked for 30 mins or so, It stopped the itching and the heat that was instilled in my skin... I was impress with it..... I still feel a little bit itching but its not all that bad and now im feeling a lot better, I also put on some goldbon (sp) on...Jolie_77 said:No Problem, Let's hope it works great for you. Let us know if it helps you alot. I'm not sure if the vinegar will help with the itching but it does normally help alot with the heat that is instilled on your skin. I've always done the vinegar thing and it has always went through for me every time I had the sun burn.
