Detailed Answer:
Hello,XXXX.
Thanks for using HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your question.
By your description it seems to allergy or sun burn.
You can apply a combination of emollients and steroid combination cream locally,
They will sooth and decrease what ever inflammation is there, as redness may be because of allergic inflammation as well.
Keep away from sun for time being.
Hope you have answer to your question, if any more you welcome to ask, or you can close the question by rating it.
Good Luck.
