  7. One-month-old baby treated for severe sunburnpublished at 10:38 British Summer Time 26 June 2017

    Queen Victoria Hospital

    A one-month-old baby was treated for severe sunburn at a Sussex hospital during this month's heatwave.

    The Queen Victoria Hospital’s specialist children’s burns unit in East Grinstead has treated 13 children with severe sunburn in June, and 18 children with burns resulting from barbecues, all of whom needed specialist treatment.

    With temperatures set to remain high in the South East for a few more days yet, Consultant Plastic Surgeon Nora Nugent said: “No parent intends for their child to get sunburnt and accidents do happen.

    "On hot sunny days, sunburn can happen very quickly even when you’re not outside very long. We encourage those looking after children to spend a few minutes applying sunscreen before they go out in the sun and to remember to reapply the sunscreen regularly.

    “If a child, or an adult, does sustain a burn, we advise that you start the treatment process immediately by running the affected area under cool water for at least 20 minutes. Then if additional medical help is needed call 111, your GP, or 999.”
