Need help with scalp sunburn?

Question

I was out in the sun too long yesterday, and now the part of my scalp where my hair was parted is burnt. How can I help this heal faster, and what are some ways to prevent this in the future without making my hair all greesy? Thanks!

Answer 1

Ow ow ow!
Putting rubbing alcohol on it might help. Sounds like it might hurt, I know, but its been a long standing sunburn relief.
Also, try to get a sunburn spray (like Solarcaine) to anestetize the area.
Anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen, aspirin) also help with the pain and itching.
In the future:
- use a spray-type, non-oily sunblock on your part
- wear a hat
-and/or style your hair in a way so their won't be a part.

Answer 2

I just went through this recently !! OUCH !!! It's really gross when it starts peeling too !!

What I did was take a little bit of sunscreen and rubbed it on my part trying to be careful not to get it all in my hair. I heard that they make hair sunscreen now too. For the pain you could use a little bit of the aloe type of lotions made for burns.

And it doesn't mean you're stupid because you get a sunburn. Sometimes you are in a situation that you didn't expect and it happens !
