Fit For A Werewolf?!: Yikes!!! Please remember that old saying, "Use As Directed." Next time you want to break that rule, try a small test patch (say on the neck or behind the jaw). Anyways, an antiinflammatory (like ibuprofen) and carefully applied topical steroid (like hydrocortisone 1%; avoid the eye areas) might help. And stay out of the sun. Use sunblock while it's healing. If it's getting worse, get it looked-at!
