Suggest Remedies For Itching Sensation On The Skin
Question: My skin feels lightly sunburned (heated though not burning) and is very itchy. I also feel it in my eyes, inside my nose. I have no hives. This has been going for a month and getting worse.
Brief Answer:
Possible Photodermatitis?
Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam
As per your symptoms, you possibly seem to have Photodermatitis.
To minimise or reduce the symptoms, I generally prescribe Hydrocortisone 0.1% cream to be applied twice a day.
Additionally, you need to use Sunscreens with SPF above 50.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
