About sunburn
Too much UV radiation burns the skin: it becomes red, hot and painful within hours, and blisters and peeling may follow.
Common triggers
Too much time in strong sun without enough protection. Fair skin, midday sun, reflection from sea and sand, and certain medicines make burning more likely.
Local tips for sunburn in Beyoglu
Beyoglu’s steep streets, rooftop bars and street food bring walking injuries and upset stomachs. Daytime sun followed by alcohol at night makes dehydration and burns worse. Cool the skin, drink water and avoid more sun.
How sunburn is treated
The doctor looks at the skin on camera, judges how deep the burn is, advises on pain relief and skin care and prescribes treatment where it is suitable. Typical choices are cooling gels, moisturisers, painkillers and, for intense burns, a stronger steroid cream.
- Drink plenty of water
- Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera gel
- Get out of the sun and cool the skin with a cool shower or damp cloth
