Suggest Treatment For Sunburn Patches On Neck

My 7-year-old son has a brown, sunburned dry patch on his neck. Not exactly sure when he got it. But it s definitely a defined area and it s really dry. Like it s brown from the sun, then a bit sunburned and then really dry. I was wanting to know the best way to treat it.

Hello,

It may be due to sunburn.

For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.

In case of itching you can take tablet loratidine.

Avoid direct exposure to sun.

Use moisturizer

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
