Walk-In Sunburn Treatment Available at Our Urgent Care Clinic in Marmora, NJ
Whether you’re soaking up the sun on a beach vacation or just spending a lot of time outdoors, you don’t want to let a sunburn get in the way of a good time. In many cases, a sunburn doesn’t require clinical treatment—the painful symptoms and scarlet skin will go away after a few days of at-home care. However, if you’re in the Marmora area and you worry that your sunburn should be evaluated by a medical practitioner or you’d like professional assistance in healing as fast as possible, you can seek nonemergency sunburn treatment at Cape Regional Urgent Care.
Our walk-in clinic in Marmora is staffed by board-certified doctors and other highly skilled medical professionals who take pride in offering quick, compassionate treatment for a wide variety of nonemergency illnesses and injuries. We treat patients of all ages, including infants and children, and we’re open during extended hours seven days a week. Our wait times are short, and you can use our convenient online check-in service to reserve your place in line before you arrive.
When to Seek Medical Treatment for a Sunburn
The first steps in sunburn treatment include getting out of the sun, soaking in cool water or applying a cool, wet cloth to the skin, and drinking plenty of water. Then you should take over-the-counter pain medication and apply a soothing aloe vera gel.
You should seek sunburn treatment at our urgent care clinic if:
- Your sunburn is severe, blistering, or covers a large portion of your body
- There are signs of skin infection, such as swelling, red streaks, or pus
- You’re experiencing headache, nausea, fever, or chills
Unlike many urgent care centers, Cape Regional has an on-site prescription medication dispensary, which means we may be able to provide you with an oral or topical medication as part of your sunburn treatment with no need for you to visit a pharmacy.
