Does hydrocortisone clear facial sunburn in a black woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not 100%: The steroid will take out some of the swelling associated but in a black woman it must be used sparingly and a short time because steroids can change skin color. It is best to soothe with a moisturizer. avoid re exposure to the sun and always wear a good broad spectrum sun block
