Nancy:
Some folks develop an allergy to the long waves of ultraviolet light not blocked by conventional sunscreens. Try using one which contains Parsol 1789 and says it is for UVA. Physical sunscreens containing titanium dioxide may lso help. Finally, taking an antihistamine like chlortrimeton 4 mg or diphenhydramine 25 (both OTC before going out also helps some people. (Careful about drowsiness, though--no driving on the beach or operating heavy machinery . . . )
best.

My advice is see a doctor if you suspect you have sun poisoning. Oh, and stay out of the sun.
posioning, my question is, is sun posioning a rash or can it
almost look like sores or bites?? I have been going tanning
for about a year and a half and never happened until now,
it's also in my scalp of my head. I'm scheduled to see a
dermatolgist nexy week, so I just wanted to know what sun
posioning really looks like???????
