Apply Aloe Vera gel or a cooling calamine lotion. Stay hydrated and avoid further sun exposure until the skin heals. Do not peel the skin if it starts to flake.

How do I treat a 'Blister' from new shoes?
Created by Maria Fernandes (1 month ago)
Do not pop it! The skin over the blister acts as a natural sterile bandage. Cover it with a 'Blister Bandage' or a donut-shaped pad to take the pressure off.

Rinse with warm water. If you find the piece of tooth, keep it in a small container of milk and see a dentist immediately; they may be able to bond it back.

Use the RICE method. Wrap it with a crepe bandage (not too tight) and rest it in a sling if needed. Avoid heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks.

Created by Kavya Patel (1 month ago)
Apply a cold compress (ice wrapped in a cloth) for 15 minutes every hour for the first day. This reduces swelling and bruising. Do not apply raw meat; that is a myth.

Use a 'Donut Pillow' or wedge-shaped cushion when sitting. Apply ice/heat packs and avoid sitting for long periods. If pain persists after a fall, an X-ray may be needed.
