Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello dear,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic.
I read and understand your concern.
I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.
It is nothing to worry about, it is the common reaction of the sun light because of longer duration of exposure.
I suggest you to apply common sunscreen lotion available at home
You can also take cetrizine and prednisolone tablet under your doctors guidance. This will clear up the reaction immediately.
Please in future apply sunscreen lotion on the exposing part before you go on the sun.
I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
