TL;DR
If you get a burning rash in the sea in Nha Trang from something like a jellyfish or floating sea creature, it’s best to avoid more swimming and sun exposure for a while, stay in the shade, and monitor the skin. In the chat, the practical advice was to rest, hydrate, and avoid irritating the area further.
The most recent advice was not to keep swimming or sunbathing after this kind of sea sting, as both can make the skin irritation worse.
For a burning reaction after sea exposure, the chat leaned toward taking it easy: lie down, rest, and wait for the acute irritation to calm down.
One practical tip mentioned was hydration: after this kind of reaction in Nha Trang’s heat, it’s better to drink fluids and stay indoors or in the shade.
Based on the description, this sounded more like a sting or burn from something in the water rather than a cut, so going straight back into the sea was not advised.
