A member asked:
Severe sunburn on chest went to dr yesterday he gave steroid topical it burns when putting on and is drying skin out what else can i use for on skin

Moisturizer: Steroid creams do burn when applied. Skip the steroid and keep the skin moisturized with a heavy lotion. Wear a cotton T shirt or similar soft, light clothing. It will get better. Remember next time to put sunscreen on all exposed skin!
