Q: have sun poison rash on both feet and shins. Also dependent edema. Red and purplish mottling. How do I treat? Have been drinking lots of water and keeping feet up
Hi there
I am sorry this happened to you. I am guessing by now that things have improved?
In the meantime here is an article you will want to read about what to do in case of sun poisoning. I think the key, though, is prevention. The next time you are out in the sun you really have to slather on the sunscreen and re-apply every two hours.
Hope you are feeling better by now. Thank you for your question.
