Suggest treatment for sunburn on face and swollen eyelids

Brief Answer:
Bit to be concerned
Detailed Answer:
Hello there
Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic..
Need some more information to help better..
1)Can you upload a clear picture of your face ?
2)Any symptoms like burning or itching sensation ?
With the limited information, I think you seem to have developed photo dermatitis..
Management of this condition is primarily to implement preventive measures..In moderate to severe cases ,treatment with immunosuppressants like corticosteroids (I.e topical hydrocortisone ) would be helpful..
A dermatologist opinion is recommended...
Awaiting your reply..
Regards..
