Suggest Treatment For Itching Stinging Sunburn On Arms

I was recently sunburned on my arms. Then Monday of this week my arms began itching and stinging, so Tuesday I couldn t my doc so self medicated with Benadryl tablets, 75 mg 3 times, It helped. Last night I added Benadryl gel to affected arms, that finally gave me some relief from the itching. Today both arms started peeling from sunburn. I had been prescribed 200mg ofhydroxychloroquine 2 times a day. He cut it to 200 1 time a day and 25 mg of Benadry 2 times a day. Didn t know my sun burn was bad enough to peel
