The Sun Poisoning Relief Page

After a recent case of "sun poisoning" I did a search of the net
looking for a method of relief, without success.
I DID find methods for prevention, but,
once one is already afflicted, prevention tips aren't much help.
I actually found one doctor that 'treats' sun poisoning
by exposing the skin to ultraviolet light...

I am NOT a doctor !!! but, here's what worked for me ... rather quickly too...
(after over a WEEK of itching, scratching, and spreading the sun poisoning)

First of all, DO NOT SCRATCH !!!
Those small pustules containing the clear fluid will break and spread the rash !!!
AND ... prolong the agony ...

Immediately after showering, and GENTLY drying off,
( I suggest Pat-Drying yourself, rather than pulling towel from side to side )
I used a 1 % hydrocortisone cream ( Equate ) over the entire effected area
and took an oral ( Benedryl ) antihistamine capsule [ as opposed to the caplets ].

The combination of the hydrocortisone cream and the antihistamine
quickly helped relieve the itching sensation,
and seemed also to help heal the rash shortly afterwards.

I'm very pleased to say that the above method seems to be helping a LOT of people !!!
Thank you ALL for your kind email and letters !!!
It makes my day to hear that I can STILL be of help to people,

even though I can no longer physically perform Massage.

Thank You ALL VERY much & God Bless !!!
