A member asked:
Is it safe to use sunscreen lotion when you allready have sun burn or other skin problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen ; Sunburn: As your skin is injured with sunburn, its best to test any product on a small spot first to see if your skin will react in any undesirable way. If there is no reaction, you should be able to apply the product to your skin for sun protection. But if your sunburn is really bad, best to just stay out of the sun.
