Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your concern in the HCM.
From the above mentioned information, I think you have got acute exacerbation of seborrheic dermatitis from sunburn and dehydration.
My recommendations are-
1. Plenty of oral fluid (3-4 lit/day)
2. Avoid spices, junk foods and carbonated drinks.
3. 100 gm of fresh fruit, especially citrus fruit should be consumed everyday.
4. You can apply Cetaphil lotion topically and Cetaphil soap also.
5. Mometasone Furoate (0.1%)+ Fusidic acid (2%) combination (marketed as Bactirest M) may be applied (amount of a pinch) locally in the affected area for 1 week after testing for any hypersensitivity reaction in the back.
6. Avoid excessive sun-exposure.
7. After 7 days you can apply any moisturizing lotion and sun-protection cream while going out.
Hope you are satisfied with my answer. If you think I have satisfactorily resolved your query, please close the thread and rate my answer.
In case you have any new query in future, you can directly ask me questions @ http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-kaushik-sarkar/68460. I will try my level best to help you.
