What to do when sun blisters are drying up?

Here are some tips on how to care for sun blisters that are drying up:

- Do not pick or peel the skin. This can cause infection and scarring.

- Keep the area clean and dry. Gently wash the area with mild soap and water and pat dry. Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to the affected area.

- Cover the blister with a bandage. This will help to protect it from further damage.

- Avoid sun exposure. This can further damage the skin and make the healing process longer.

- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve pain and inflammation.

- Aloe Vera gel can also be applied to the blister to help soothe the skin and promote healing.

When to see a doctor:

- If the blister is extremely painful, swollen, or red.

- If the blister is oozing or has pus.

- If the blister does not improve after a few days of home care.

- If the blister is on your face, genitals, or other sensitive areas.
