I have a really bad sunburn on my feet. It all started 6 weeks ago, after 2 hours in the sun everything seemed fine. Then about three days later a sunburn started to appear on just my feet. The burns continued to get worse over the next week resulting in huge blisters. I went to several doctors ending up at the dermatologist. I was given steroids and ointment. It was classified as hypersensitive delayed reaction. Now it has been between 6 and 7 weeks and new blisters and burns have appeared on my feet and no where else. They believe in the original diagnosis but did a biopsy anyway. I have been given more steroids and Topicort spray. Since last night the burns on my toes have turned a deep purple and seem very dry looking. My feet are incredibly swollen and I have never had that problem before. I am wondering if this is something I should just wait until the office opens on Tuesday or should I get this checked sooner at the emergency room? Just nervous never had a burn that has lasted this long before.

hi there. 1.don't worry. 2. your concern may be a variant of porphyrea or it may be solar uriticaria. 3. let the biopsy report come. 4. get antineuclear antibodiesblood test done as well. 5.plan for oral hydroquinone 400mg if ANA blood test is positive. until then continue your old prescription
