I have sunburn on my hands, legs, and thighs. What over-the-counter medications or topical creams should I use to treat it?

Asked by Female, 28 · 1 month ago

To soothe your sunburn and reduce inflammation, apply pure aloe vera gel or a mild 1% hydrocortisone cream to the affected areas. A gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer applied while the skin is damp also helps lock in hydration. For discomfort and swelling, over-the-counter oral pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are highly effective. Please avoid topical products containing benzocaine, as they can cause skin irritation. Keep yourself well-hydrated, apply cool damp compresses, and avoid further sun exposure. If you develop severe blistering, fever, or dizziness, please seek medical attention.
