Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You developed crusted skin lesions on the face after exposure to sun. I feel that most probably you developed sun burn. Skin becomes inflammed,erosed and crusted after exposure to severe hot sunrays for long time in people having sensitive skin. There may be mild to severe burning sensation. You consult dermatologist. Still, I would like to give you few suggestions.

- avoid sunexposure
- take antibiotic course
- take antiinflammatory drugs
- steroid may be taken in tappering dose
- apply antibiotic cream on lesions
- after cure of lesions, sunscreen lotion may be applied to prevent bad effect of sun

I think you may feel better after few weeks treatment.

Thanks.
