Hi,
Recently I took Apis mel (homeopathic ) medicine and some uric acid controlling pills. I could see that now my skin is very sensitive to sun and started getting brown and also shows sign of small dry skin kind of feeling.
Any suggession / medicine to get rid of this issue.
Thanks
Dilip
Thank you very much!! I wish I could attribute it to meds, but I am not on any. I don't usually use perfumes and I don't apply lotion to my chest. Haven't used any sunscreen as of yet....it must be a dermatitis. I don't have rosacea or lupus (to my knowledge). I have a past history (20 years ago) of having neurodermatitis, could it be related to that? That condition disappeared 20 years ago after having it for at least 5 excruciating years.
Thanks again!!
Hi,
Your sun sensitivity could be triggered by certain medications or chemicals found in your colognes/perfumes, cosmetics, skin lotions, and even sunscreens. It may also be caused by pre-existing diseases such as rosacea, lupus or atopic dermatitis. Cool compress, cortisone cream or over-the-counter antihistamine medication may also help. However, it is recommended to prevent too much sun exposure and to use sunscreens or UV protected clothing. If it persists, have this evaluated further by your dermatologist.
Take care and do keep us posted.
