While most sunburns will subside after a few days and can be treated at home with over the counter medicines and remedies, a severe sunburn might need the evaluation of a provider. You should also seek medical attention if you’re experiencing symptoms such as blisters, excessive peeling, chills or fever, or dizziness.
At AFC Urgent Care Methuen, we treat symptoms of sunburns on a walk-in basis. Some of the services we provide include:
- Full examination for skin color change, blisters, and capillary refill
- Assessment degree of pain
- Evaluation for symptoms of dehydration and heat exhaustion
