Suggest Remedy For Allergies Caused Due To Sunlight And Tanning
Hello, I m 20, I am going on holiday and I have been told that I am allergic to the sun, I had a bad reaction to the sun on holiday last year. My doctor has given me Fexofenadine to take every day and Prednisolone to take in case it still flares up. I used the sunbed to try and get a base so that my skin is more used to it before I go but my rash has flared up so i have had to take the prednisolone. I am worried that i won t be able to enjoy my holiday and get a tan. Do you have any advise and do you think its possible for me to be able to get a tan and enjoy the sun?

Hi..if you allergic to sunlight then youshoul take anti allergic like fexofenadine and steroid(but not for long time).. ..do use sunblock with longer spf..it would be better to use some mechanical sunblock rather when going out in the sun again.hope you will enjoy your holidays..hope you got the answer..thanks
