Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
You seem to have developed an Acute sunburn. Bleaching the day before, did seem to have reduced the threshold for it to occur.
If I was the treating doctor I would start you on Oral
steroids for a week.
Topically, you may use a moderately potent
topical steroid e.g
fluticasone proionate 0.05% twice daily for a week.
Steroids are antiinflammatory and therefore bring down the redness and swelling associated with a sunburn.
Steroids, oral as well as topical are anti-inflammatory and I suggest that you visit a
dermatologist in your vicinity for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate treatment.
An OTC oral antihistamine e.g
cetrizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from discomfort.
Always use a broaad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day, whenever outdoors. Reapply every 2-3 hours.
Regards
