What can not be done with the resulting sunburn
When burns are received, many use different vegetable oils, but this can not be done, because vegetable oils are not wound-healing agents, nor do they facilitate the condition. On the contrary, they form a film on the skin, which is an excellent "soil" for the development of various microorganisms (pathogens), which can lead to infection of the burn. This also applies to Vaseline and other thick ointments. In addition, you can not treat sore spots with creams and balms that contain alcohol - this will only cause skin irritation and aggravate the condition of the victim.
