Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

The rash you have may be a result of skin toxicity from the sun. this rash should slowly fade over a few days. If there is associated itching you could take Benadryl and use a topical cortisone cream.

Male sure To keep well hydrated and also to use good moisturizer on your skin as well. This will promote healing over time.

If the rash is not better or if it is worse in 3 days then it would be reasonable to see your local physician for an examination.

Thanks again for the query.

Sincerley,

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Yes it's possible to have rash elsewhere from the sunburn but would only expect this to be the case for a couple of days. if it persists more than that then you should have your primary physician take a look at the rash and examine you in person.

Sincerely,

Dr Galamaga
