Dermatological tests
Doctors may seek to measure the degree of sensitivity of the skin to light rays through a photometric test, in which small areas of the skin are exposed to measured amounts of UVA and UVB rays, and the interaction of light with these rays is measured.
Sunburn skin treatment
A person may need some restorative creams and some painkillers, in mild to moderate cases, but in the event of severe swelling and the appearance of bubbles, a doctor should be consulted at the Excellage Clinic to provide appropriate medical care for the skin health condition.
