How to get the redness of sunburn to go away fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunburn redness....: The most effective way to improve the redness from a sunburn is to use a topical steroid, like 1% Hydrocortisone and a NSAID like Motrin or ibuprofen. Make sure to keep the area moisturized with a product like eucerin, lubriderm or an aloe vera based cream. This helps most superficial sunburns. Your primary doc can also prescribe specific treatments. Camouflage make-up will cover for an event.
