☀️ Protect Your Skin This Summer ☀️

A sunburn is more than just red skin—it is a sign that your skin has been damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Even a single severe sunburn can increase your risk of premature skin ageing and skin cancer.

The good news? Most sunburns are preventable.

How to protect yourself:
🧴 Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every 2 hours, or more often after swimming or sweating.
👒 Wear a wide-brimmed hat, UV-protective sunglasses, and lightweight clothing that covers your skin.
🌴 Seek shade, especially between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm when UV levels are strongest.
💧 Stay well hydrated by drinking water regularly throughout the day.
👶 Take extra care with children, older adults, and people with fair or sensitive skin, who are at greater risk of sun damage.

If you do get sunburned:
✅ Move out of the sun immediately.
✅ Cool the affected skin with cool (not ice-cold) water or cool compresses.
✅ Apply a fragrance-free moisturiser or aloe vera gel.
✅ Drink plenty of fluids.
✅ Avoid further sun exposure until your skin has healed.

🚨 Seek medical advice promptly if you develop extensive blistering, severe pain, fever, dizziness, confusion, signs of dehydration, or if a young child has a significant sunburn.

Enjoy the sunshine safely—protect your skin today for a healthier tomorrow.

🌡️ Heat Rash? Stay Cool, Stay Comfortable!

Heat rash (also known as prickly heat) is a common skin condition during hot and humid weather. It happens when sweat becomes trapped beneath the skin, causing small red bumps, itching, and irritation.

The good news? Most cases improve quickly with simple care.

Common symptoms include:
• Small red bumps or tiny blisters
• Itching or a prickling sensation
• Redness and mild discomfort
• Rash on the neck, chest, back, armpits, or skin folds

What you can do:
✅ Move to a cooler environment.
👕 Wear loose, lightweight cotton clothing.
🚿 Keep the affected skin clean, cool, and dry.
💧 Stay well hydrated.
🚫 Avoid heavy creams or oils that can block sweat glands.

⚠️ Seek medical advice if:
• The rash becomes increasingly painful, swollen, or spreads.
• You notice pus or signs of infection.
• You develop a fever or feel generally unwell.
• The rash does not improve after a few days.

At Coral Bay Health Clinic, we can assess heat-related skin conditions, provide advice to relieve your symptoms, and ensure there isn't a more serious underlying problem.
