We arrived on Saturday and loved the location, view and pool. On Sunday, it appears that Justin with his too fair skin, stayed outside a little too long, even with 50 sunblock. By that evening, he had a sunburn and it just continued to get worse from there.
This has happened before for Justin. When he was younger, he had sunburns that would itch, not hurt. On vacation in the Caymens, on our honeymoon -9 years ago and now. On our honeymoon, we had to call the local "paramedics" who came with not much in the way of meds to treat him.
He continues to get an itchiness after a sunburn, big or small. The answer, SUN POISONING.
Justin is just too susceptible to the sun and is sensitive. He needs to wear sunscreen and a long-sleeved shirt if he is going to be outside.
He is now on a fabulous med combo of
1. predinisone
2. claratin or benedryl (for the antihistimine affect)
3. pepcid (also an antihistime affect but a different type)
4. 800 mg ibupron every 4-6 hours
5. aveno bath
6. calamin lotion
Hopefully this will do the trick and he will feel better and less stir crazy with this itch. He cannot be outside in the heat/sun do to the itching.
