Suggest Remedies For Sunburn On Foot
A month ago I burnt my foot in the sun without realising it. It swelled up like a balloon and I have been putting ice packs on it and trying to keep it elevated, but the foot still swells up during the day and I still cannot put a shoe on without it swelling dramatically. I can t see any of the bones in my foot or ankle when it swellls up. What else can I do?

Hello,
I suggest you to use hydrocortisone cream and benadryl. Avoid sun exposure. If you don't feel better consult with dermatologists.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
