Severe Sunburn On The Head And Forehead. Swelling In The Forehead Spreading To Eyes And Cheeks. Any Help?
I recently received a severe sunburn on my head and forehead . After my forehead swelled up, all the fluid went around my eyes and eyelids, and to my cheeks. The swelling is now starting to subside, but I have a pocket of fluid in the inside corner of both eyes that doesn t seem to want to go away. Any suggestions? I ve tried cold packs.
