Suggest Remedies For Itchy Skin On My Lower Back
I got a sunburn on the lower part of my back 6 weeks ago. The skin actually peeled twice. It is now healed, however now I have an itchy rash where the burn was. I have been putting Gold Bond powder and Benedryl cream on it to assist with the itch and to help with the moisture in the area. But what do I need to do to make the itching go away?

Hi...thanks for sharing your problemm..
Whenever the burn heals it leave a scar which contains fibroblast that try to regenerate collagen so they cause itch...it will slowly go away by itself...you can do white petrium jelly massage..it will reduce itch...also you can take some antoallergic for it like fexet...do use sunblock when going out in the sun again...thanks
