What To Do For The Red Raised Bumps In My Forehead?
Hi, I was recently in the Carribean and had a lot of sun exposure. I used sunscreen constantly and was in the shade most days, but still had a lot of sun exposure. Anyway, about two days after returning home, I developed a lot of red raised bumps on my forehead only. They don t really itch and they do not appear to be fluid filled blisters. Any ideas on what this could be and how to treat it?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to sunburn. I suggest to take frequent cool baths or showers to help relieve the pain. Use a moisturizer that contains aloe vera or soy to help soothe sunburned skin. Consider taking aspirin or ibuprofen to help reduce any swelling, redness and discomfort. Drink extra water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
