"I think I had an allergic reaction to the sun, what should I do?"

If you believe you have had an allergic reaction to the sun, it is recommended to avoid taking Benadryl unless you are experiencing itching or bothersome symptoms. Instead, you can apply a fragrance-free moisturizing cream multiple times a day to help with the condition. It is also advised to use a gentle, fragrance-free soap and avoid hot water when bathing. Keeping your skin moist after showering and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before sun exposure can also help prevent future reactions.
