Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am suffering from itchiness, redness, and scaling of the skin. When I get exposed to the sun, it gets worse.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have photosensitive skin with atopic dermatitis and need to see a dermatologist. Do not apply creams without consulting.
I hope this helps.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
My doctor has given me a SPF 31 ultra sunscreen. Is this sunscreen enough?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You may feel better with photoban with SPF 40 or more. Avoid exposure to the sun or reduce sun exposure.
I hope this helps.
