You should. It could be a seriousl burn that burned the dermis layer and is trying to get the heat out from underneth the skin. Go to the doc.

Yes, definatly. You might just want to put some cream or lotion on it. yes go to the doctor


You can apply an ice pack for a short term solution. But you must go to a doctor to make sure there arent any other effects.


YES ! to make sure u dont have sun poisoning

put alot of aloe vera on it, and you can also soak it in ice water to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain. yeah, get a doctor to look at it, i had that happen to me and I couldn't wear shoes for a week. I wasn't so popular at my job.


yes-i would go to the doctor.


I think you should.

yes Oh yes, I would highly recommend going to see a doctor. You may have gotten sun poisoning. Good Luck!!


yes you should


i think you should go to the doctors becuase it can get worse

If your scared, you should see a doctor, if for nothing else just to calm your fear. Good luck, hope you feel better! That sounds kind of odd. I would see a doctor and explain your concerns. I don't know much about the subject - but I would tell him one of your concerns is sun poisoning.


ice


You better,ive never heard of swelling due to sunburn

Yes you can actually get 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree burns from the sun, you should definitely get it checked out. It should scare you! Make sure to stay inside (it won't get worse unless you go back outside with no shoes on) and make sure that you take some aspirin and drink plenty of water. If the swelling doesn't go down in about 4-6 hours, then it would be a good idea to see a professional. Don't put any lotion, etc on your skin because it will clog your pores and prolong the problem!


Yes and please hurry..:-)


I had second degree sunburns on my feet and lower legs once, and I didn't go to the doctor. I couldn't wear shoes for a week. I wish I'd gone though. I think you should go see a doctor.

Try soaking in cold water. If the swelling doesn't go down, see a doctor.
