Suggest Medication For Sun Burn
Hello, I am on antibiotics for my UTI and it says on the bottle avoid excess exposure to the sun ... Well I didn t see that and went on a 6 hour river floating trip and got really sunburned. Anyways now it has been almost a week and I have blisters and my skin is peeling. It feels more like bruises than a sunburn and my skin is really dry and scaly feeling...also my skin is really blotchy there are red,white, and then tan spots. What does this mean? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

hi..from your conversation i can understand that you got the 1st degree burn..this is not a very much serious issue...just you have to wash the burnt area..do apply antibiotic impregnated ointment like polyfax plus..do use some anti inflammatory like ibuprofen..also if there is itching you can use some anti allergic..when the sores are healed then use sunblock to protect from further consequences...hope you got the answer..thanks
