Sunburn Treatment in Phuket
Tropical sun burns faster than you expect — especially on a boat, where reflection doubles the dose. Severe sunburn is a real burn, and we treat it like one.
How We Treat It
- Burn severity assessment
- Cooling treatments and burn dressings
- Sterile blister management
- Oral and IV rehydration when needed
- Pain relief that lets you sleep
When to See a Doctor
Blistering sunburn over a large area — especially with headache, nausea, dizziness or fever — is sun poisoning territory and deserves proper medical care, not just aloe vera. Dehydration usually rides along with it and IV fluids speed recovery noticeably.
Do not pop blisters; they are sterile dressings your body made. We drain and dress the ones in awkward places properly so they heal without infection or scarring.

Book an AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions
When is sunburn serious enough for a doctor?
Blistering over a large area, fever, vomiting, dizziness, signs of infection, or any significant burn on a child — come in.
How long until I can go back in the sun?
Once skin has fully healed — typically 1–2 weeks for blistering burns. Burned skin burns again absurdly fast, so cover up even after it stops hurting.
