The primary measure of treatment is avoiding further exposure to the sun. The best treatment for most<unk> s is time; most<unk> s heal completely within a few weeks. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends the following for the treatment of<unk> : * For pain relief, take cool baths or showers frequently. * Use soothing moisturizers that contain aloe vera or soy. * Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin can help with pain. * Keep hydrated and drink extra water. * Do not pop blisters on a<unk> ; let them heal on their own instead. * Protect<unk> ed skin (see: Sun Protective Clothing and Sunscreen) with loose clothing when going outside to prevent further damage while not irritating the<unk> . Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; such as ibuprofen or naproxen), and aspirin may decrease redness and pain. Local anesthetics such as benzocaine, however, are contraindicated. Schwellnus et al. state that topical steroids (such as hydrocortisone cream) do not help with<unk> s, although the American Academy of Dermatology says they can be used on especially sore areas. While lidocaine cream (a local anesthetic) is often used as a<unk>  treatment, there is little evidence for the effectiveness of such use. A home treatment that may help the discomfort is using cool and wet cloths on the<unk> ed areas. Applying soothing lotions that contain aloe vera to the<unk>  areas was supported by multiple studies, though others have found aloe vera to have no effect. Note that aloe vera has no ability to protect people from new or further<unk> . Another home treatment is using a moisturizer that contains soy. A<unk>  draws fluid to the skin’s surface and away from the rest of the body. Drinking extra water is recommended to help prevent dehydration.
