Is Swelling, Redness And Little Oozing Sunburn On Face Being Treated By Ibuprofen And Neosporin Right Treatment?

Two days ago I got sunburn on my face. It didn t really blister but still oozed a little and is still red and swollen today. I have been treating it by taking ibuprofen and applying neosporin to the places that had oozed like a blister would have. Am I treating it correctly? Is it normal for it to still be swollen?

Hi,

You are using the right medicines.
Along with these I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas.
This will further reduce the redness and swelling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
