What Causes Bumps On The Back After Exposure To Sun?

my daughter is at the hot beach, very fair skinned (has italian/irish, but more irish pale skin with brown hair/eyes) and wore sunscreen but now seems to have a heat rash? not itchy, uncomfortable, ugly, bumps, on back of her legs, some on top of feet and arms. i m sure from laying out in hot sun. could be from the SC beach water/sand. She put aloe on it. has some cortisone creams. took tylenol. but now she says it looks more dark reddish/purple but not spreading. i told her to take an epsom bath if they could get to the store. could it be anythign worse? i had sun poisioning once, where it looked like i burnt my skin, under the skin. could that be it? what should i do? of course i m 8 hours away! thanks

Hi...thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum...
Its seem your daughter got the sun...
Ask her take bath regularly with oily soap...use antibiotic plus soothing ointment...(bacitracine+xylocain..
As her to use antiallergic and take extra water with minerals
If she is having she can use some paikiller...hope she will be fine in week...
She should use sunblock with longer spf when going out in the sun..thanks
