Suggest Treatment For Oozing From Sun Burnt Skin In Case Of Psoriasis

Hi, I am a 33 year old male standing at 6 foot. My weight is 90kilos. I suffer with psoriasis. I was out in the sun for a long period yeaterday. I did use sun protection however I cound not have used a sufficient amount on my scalp which caused some burning. I don't feel any pain although it is sensitive to touch. The worry for me is it has been intermitantly seeping a clear fluid for a 4/5 hour period.

Thank you for your help

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From your description it sounds like sunburn alright. In severe sunburn seeping of fluid (oozing) is commonly seen. It will be beneficial if you could apply a cream containing a combination of steroid and antibiotic twice daily. Cold compresses will be beneficial. You should strictly avoid further sun exposure of the sunburnt skin till it heals. I recommend you to get this cream prescribed by your general practitioner.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
