[|Human|] Hi, Recently, I ve had dry and red cheeks. It started when I went on vacation in relatively hot weather where I would be in the sun a lot. Every time I d use my regular cleanser my cheeks would sting and burn. Before that they d get dry no matter how many times I dranj water or how early I went to bed. It stopped after a while and I thought it d go away. However, recently I ve been outside daily under the sun for long periods of time and my cheeks are back to being dry, red, a little flaky, and stingy (when I put my cleanser on). I have a theory that I might have sensitive skin, but I m not totally sure. My skin was never like this before. It just recently started this past month. Do I have exema or some kind of infection? If so, what can I do to treat it or at least ease the pain? Please help! Sincerely, Rain
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor. The red flaky skin over your face seems to be due to sunburns. Acute sun burns are sometimes frightening but nothing to worry as It's pretty easy to manage. Generally, I advise short course of prednisolone along with local application of mometasone cream and soothing calamine lotion twice a day. Apply good moisturizer like Detail every time before going to bed. Antihistaminics and antioxidant tablets can additionally be added. Use high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen every time before going out in sun. Cold sponging will definitely help. Hope this will take care of your issue. Wish you best of health. Thank you Chat Doctor.
