In the last 10 years I have developed a sun allergy, at the beginning the reaction only happened on holidays in hot countries or in high altitude, but in the last 2 to 3 years it also occurred in this country. The exposed skin became blotchy, very red and swollen, then tiny blisters appeared and a weepy eczema covered the face but also arms, neck, throat and chest. Hydrocortison creams were prescribed from my GP but often I had to steroids orally (pednisolone). Once I had such a bad reaction I was given steroids intravenously. I love outdoor life and could only go out fully covered with scarf and a large hat and always wearing long sleeves even in the warmest weather. 

I welcomed the offer of my GP who suggested a course of UVB phototherapy but just after a few treatments I had to take corticosteroids because I had the same sun allergy symptoms as before. I saw Dr. Wang in March 2008 and received treatment until September, taking Chinese herb extracts and applying a cream to sore areas. Meanwhile I am using the pink cream as normal face cream and it is better than any cream I ever had. I had a good summer without steroid tablets and only used hydrocortison cream once or twice for my face. I have great faith in Dr. Wang and hopefully he will cure me totally when I go back next spring.
