Got Sun Burnt. Took Medication For Acne, Had Dehydration. Blisters All Over Body. How To Cure?
I went to the beach and got sun burnt really bad. I take medication for acne on my face. I passed out the next morning of dehydration. This was on Monday. Then I had water blisters all over my face and they popped on their own. And now my face is hard feeling like scabs. I am drinki lots of water and putting netrogena lotion on it. It's starting to want to peel scan off .
You seem to have developed sun burns due to excessive sun exposure...
You need to apply a topical steroid containing mometasone cream over the affected area atleast twice a day over the affected area inorder to decrease the inflammation..
And take some oral antihistamines like levocetrizine once a day.
You should use a sunscreen (spf>26) everytime before you go out in the sun in future,..
Regarding a sunscreen, it is important that you should apply adequate amount of sunscreen over all the exposed areas before going out in the sun,,It should atleast be applied 30 minutes before any kind of sun exposure and it should be reapplied every 3-4 hours in you stay out in the sun...
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of water
If an case you develop any kind of pigmentation over face after the lesions heal,then you might have to apply a lightening agent like kojic acid over the affected area
Hope it helps
