    Hello, my stepdaughter Rhonda has been  diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma in Aug 2011. She has had a brain and lung tumor removed. She has been on Zelboraf for 6 mons and is doing great. She has been thru the side effects like, rash, loss of hair and the worst for her is getting sun burned so easily.

    Hello, my stepdaughter Rhonda has been  diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma in Aug 2011. She has had a brain and lung tumor removed. She has been on Zelboraf for 6 mons and is doing great. She has been thru the side effects like, rash, loss of hair and the worst for her is getting sun burned so easily.

    Does anyone have any remedies to put on the sunburned areas to relieve some of the pain. Right now she is burned with blisters on her foot and bottom lip. She covers up with sunblock, clothes and umbrella. We have tried almost everything to put on the burn, with no luck in taking care of the prickly feeling she has.

    Thank you for any help.

      My dad also burnt his lips many times on this drug. Pawpaw ointment is the best if you can find it over there?

      Take care

      I'm not sure how inflamed or red a Zelboraf sunburn is, but for a normal sunburn, Calendula cream from a health food store works well. I used put it on a blistering burn I got from an iron and was shocked at how quickly the pain went away.

      You can also buy calendula tea and make compresses she can apply to her feet and bottom lip. Just steep the tea in boiling water but don't apply it until it's cooled down.
