Ashley needed a strong drug for several days when I got home and explained the doctor what happened
The woman's holiday turned into a nightmare when Sunburn made her face until her mother's swelling did not recognize her. Ashley Bianchi said that she looked like and others on her trip to the Dominican Republic.
The 23 -year -old girl spent the absorption of the Shams of Punta Cana while relaxing with her family around the pool. But by evening, she noticed her forehead and head swelling.
Despite the use of SunCream, Ashley thought she had just suffered a mild reaction to the sun. The children's hospital assistant says she died on her face with Aloe Vera and continued with her journey.
But Ashley woke up in the last morning of the holiday to find that one of her eyes was closed. By the end of the four -day trip, Ashley's face became so swollen that her mother, Michelle Bianchi, 52, has not recognized her on her face.
Other family members also joined that they looked like alien et. On the way to the airport, Ashley feared her appearance that has changed greatly means that she will not be able to get customs.
“I used a sunscreen, but I still get a little red, which will happen in both cases because I am not accustomed to the sun there, and we were in the pool all day.” “I installed my mother, and said I didn't look like me, then I said the family I went with like Et.
“My face started getting worse, when the swelling occurred and under my eyes. It was definitely a mixture of its position and its presence in the resort throughout the day. He barely had any shades, so I was more exposed to radiation.
“I had to go on my journey and go through the customs that were not like me, and I was afraid that I couldn't go home. I am very grateful because I went through it. I wore my sunglasses on the whole trip to the house, even when it was dark, because I was very embarrassing.”
Desperate to find relief, Ashley stopped at a pharmacy at Dominican Airport and bought anti -inflammatory drugs. She also arrived at her doctor, who prescribed her oral steroid – but she could not start treatment until she returned home on March 25.
Once at home, it took four days of steroids to finally return to normal. Ashley said: “It was not painful, more uncomfortable. I suffered when I had to close my eyes all the way,” Ashley said.
“When I went to the pharmacy, the worker had wide eyes and went,” My country. “
Ashley says she later learned that she had suffered from the sun's poisoning. She said, “My doctor was not sure whether the sun was poisoning, but I am working in the hospital and asked the rheumatist.
“She said she poisoned the sun, and this is what she told him.”
Now it is completely recovered, Ashley shares her story as a warning about the risk of sun exposure – even with sunscreen. She said, “I would like to say that the risk of exposure to sunlight is real. I am lucky to poisoning the sun's poisoning on my face and nothing else.
“I had no symptoms alongside swelling. It is extremely important to use sunscreen and wear hats. I think this is where he made a mistake. I should have something along with a sunscreen to protect my face.
“But in general, the sun is not a joke, especially in the Caribbean, where it is more powerful.”
