Sun Blister Treatment


Blisters can be formed not only by a fire burn. Even our life giving sun has the ability to give blisters to you! Sun blisters are a result of prolonged exposure to sun. A question can quiet normally arise. Why does it happen and is it same for everyone? The simple answer to the question is, it is not same for everyone and that it happens because the intensity of the harmful sun rays exceeds the protective capacity of the melanin (a black pigment in our body that protects us from the harmful ultra violet rays of sun). People with dark complexion have higher concentration of melanin than the fair and this explains why fair people are more prone to sun burns and sun blisters.
