Suggest Remedy For Sunburns With Itchy Arms
I got a sun burn on first of June and ever since my right arm itches and has shooting pains, like needles sticking in my arm. My arm wakes me up in the middle of the night and my arm itches on and off during the day, it really drives me crazy and I cant do anything when it itches. It has been almost a month since I got this burn. My arm is red and has peeled twice. Should I see my doctor? I have used anti itch creams and lotions, nothing seems to help.
