Suggest Remedies For Bruised, Itchy And Peeling Skin Due To Sunburn
Hello. I am 26 year old, female. Last Sunday I went to the beach and got really bad sunburn. 2 days after, it becomes bruise-like on my tummy and chest part. But I did not feel any pain at all, its not even itchy. Then my right shoulder is also burned but its peeling now. I am just worried because it never happened to me. Thanks doc.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bruised, itchy and peeling skin due to sunburn which seems your skin got exposed to UV rays of sun excessively. It could be because of oxidation of your skin due to exposure of sulphur oxides due to salty and oxidised water as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid sun exposure as much as you can. If you have to go outside cover your skin with cloth. Tan Care a medicated cream you should use it on daily basis to get immediate relief. Use metarub to avoid purple pigmentation. You can use tea tree oil or apple cedar vinegar dipped in cotton swab and apply two times daily for 10-15 minute that will fasten healing due to oxides of sulphur. Keep area clean and dust free. Honey and coconut oil are effective in faster recovery.
Your symptoms will start resolving in 1 week. If your symptoms keeps on persisting the you should visit dermatologist once.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
