Suggest Treatment For Itching And Redness On Skin After A Sunburn
Hi I got quite bad sunburn 1 week ago whilst on holidays despite having factor 50 on which I applied multiple times. It s on my face/arms/hands/chest/legs and feet. My feet were swollen for 3 days after but that is now better however my skin is still very red and itchy all over! Is there anything I can do to help this, I have been using aloe Vera 2 times daily since the burn
