Suggest Remedy For Sunburn On Chest And Swollen Neck

I had a pretty bad sunburn on my chest a week ago. I used silvadene cream on it and developed a severe rash, swollen neck and chest. breasts looked like collecting fluid under the skin on the sides closest to the center of the chest. stopped using silvadene and was given steroid cream and steroid dose pack. rash and swelling better next day and continues to improve. swelling in breast a little better but still looks like pockets of inflammation...sometimes in one area and other times looks like swollen flesh colored veins.....could this still be from the trauma of the chest swelling?

Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Infectious Disease Specialist! I went through your query!

I advise that you please stop using medications on your own choice. Various antibiotics, creams, pills, and antifungal medication can make you ultra-sensitive to the sun therefore be cautious.
Apply SPF of your sunscreen30 minutes before you go outside.
Get your wounds examined by a dermatologist.
