Suggest Remedy For Itchy Sunburns With Blisters On The Back And Arms

Almost 3 weeks ago this coming Sunday, I sunburned my back and arms, causing my skin to blister and peel. My problem now is extreme itching on these areas. A pharmacist suggested I buy and apply CeraVe a itch relief moisturing lotion. Not doing a very good job. Is this a symptom of something more serious, should I be seeing a dermatologist?

Hi.
As per your case history of sunburn blisters, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral aspirin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
