Avoid suntan ning parlours and sunlamps Their use increases the risk of skin cancers. Some people get as much redness, the same burning sensa- tion and,as much skin damage from artificial tanning as from nat- ural sunlight. In addition people can get itching, freckles and severe sunburn. The tan you get from suntan parlours does not pro- tect you against sunburn from nat- ural light. In fact it only provides an SPF of 3. Once the skin is sunburnt it turns red, may hurt and when severe may blister. The only treat- ment at this stage is calomine lotion. Some people may need painkillers such as aspirin or Tylenol . Rarely, if the sunburn is very severe and blistered, the patient may need to consult a doc- tor. A person's eyes can also be affected by sunlight. Intense expo- sure may damage the eye, causing pain, redness and watering of the eyes. Wear good sunglasses at all times when outdoors, even in win- ter, to avoid eye damage. Even children should protect their eyes from the sun by wearing sun- glasses and a hat 65-3664 ST.
