How can i clear up a rash after being in the sunlight?

Prevent it!: Most photosensitive rashes are not caused by "visible" light, but ultraviolet light, which is responsible for sunburn, premature wrinkling, and skin cancer. Use plenty of sfp-30 or higher when you are outside. This will lessen the likelyhood of getting the rash. Once of prevention beats a pound of cure!
