I have found rubbing the gel from my aloe plant will stop the itching. I have had the rash for two weeks and not even antibiotics from the doctor have helped.

Like Stephanie said keep the sun off you skin or wear lotion with at least 50 sp or higher in it. I usually get on my left arm which is in the sun when I’m driving. But I can get any place that is exposed to the sun too long. I didn’t know that diuretic’s caused it. I’m been taking a blood pressure med with it a long time. I get tiny water filled boils like and they itch a lot. It never goes away for a long time. Unlike what they said a couple weeks. It stays with me for a year or more. I’m going to stop taking the diuretic blood pressure meds and see if it helps it go away faster. I found when I moved to Florida that the sun there is stronger and cause’s it easier. But if I don’t let the sunlight stay on my skin for more than a couple minutes I’m fine. Definitely having my Doctor change my medication. It’s like poison Ivy that won’t go away a lot more serious than they talked about.

HI!
I am not real sure about the garlic – but, good luck to those that go that route.

I tan easily, and sometimes stay out to long, and will get a sun rash. It usually itches and stings more than anything else.
I have found that staying out of the sun is the best thing, but I can not help myself.
When i notice that a rash appears – mine starts on my belly – , I will take a cool shower with no soap except for the shampoo on my hair, and pout a can of evap. milk over my belly. that helps to take the sting out, and some relief from the heat of it. RINSE that off.
pat dry, and apply a bit of cortizone to the rash areas. and then I just wait.
When the rash is gone, I do try to stay out of direct sunlight for at least 2-3 days.
Hope your sunburn feels better, and if it is really, really bad, go on to the doctor and let them prescribe something! That big, red, ball in the sky that we call the sun is brutal!!!

Hi,

I used to be allergic to the sun, especially during summer months. I would get a rash on my body, including my arms, neck, face, etc. I eventually heard that garlic chives, called 韭菜 (jiǔ cài) could be used to treat it. I rubbed cut-up garlic chives over my body, and the rash went away. I repeated this in subsequent years, and I stopped getting rashes altogether. Praise God!
