Suggest Remedy For Sunburns & & Red Pimples
I went to the beach two weekends ago. I got a very bad sunburn on my chest. The skin is peeling now, but I also have what looks like measeals. Small red pimple like rash all over my chest and belly. Also, it itches like crazy. I was thinking brown soap and eucerine? What do you think?

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Acute sun burns are sometimes frightening but nothing to worry as its pretty easy to manage.
Generally, I advise short course of prednisolone along with local application of mometasone cream and soothing calamine lotion twice a day.
Antihistaminics and antioxidant tablets can additionally be added.
Use high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen everytime before going out in sun.
Cold sponging will definitely help.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
