6. Affected Skin Should Be Shielded From Further Exposure
Another important step to take is to stay out of the sun as much as possible while you are healing. If you can avoid going outside, do so. Avoid windows, as they can let in UV light that could make the problem worse.
If you must go out, make sure that you cover your burned skin as much as possible. Avoid tight clothing over the burn so that you don’t irritate the rash. Wear loose clothing over the burn so that it’s shielded from the rays. Try to dress in heavier materials, as UV light can get through gauzy fabrics.
