How can i get rid of sunburn redness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fades with Time.: Keep sunburn cool w moist cool/cold compresses. Avoid alcohol containing products. Break off pieces of aloe vera plant & apply sap to skin. Consider non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds to reduce pain. Don’t yank off peeling skin or burst blisters. Seek med care for severe pain, fever, lack of improvement of sxs w/i several days or if a large surface area is blistered. Drink H2O.

Face and neck and ears get red and hot most evenings. What could possibly cause that? And no rash or bumps. Just red like a light sunburn and warm but no fever. Its just uncomfortable.
