Suggest Remedy For The Sunburn
I have extremely bad sunburn. I got it 3 days ago and I constantly treated it with aloe and white vinegar. By this morning it was almost completely gone. Then I went back outside, after applying sunscreen, and now it is worse than it was three days ago. What should I do?

Hi,You seem to have tendency to develop sun burn. It is an irritation caused by long term sun exposure. Burning and itching may be there. Erythema might occur. Please avoid to go under sun for few days. You may take antioxidants tab and vitamin E cap for long time. Use sunscreen lotion of high SPF. I hope this might help you.....Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Acute sun burns are sometimes frightening but nothing to worry as its pretty easy to manage.
Generally, I advise short course of prednisolone along with local application of mometasone cream and soothing calamine lotion twice a day.
Antihistaminics and antioxidant tablets can additionally be added.
Use high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen everytime before going out in sun.
Cold sponging will definitely help.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
