Beta-Alanine as a Potential Therapy for Hell’s Itch: A Case Series Highlighting an Underrecognized Post-Sunburn Condition

Background: Hell’s Itch is a rare, extremely uncomfortable post-sunburn condition characterized by severe burning and itching starting 24–72 hours after sun exposure. It is often misdiagnosed or unrecognized by healthcare providers due to lack of understanding and awareness. Standard antipruritic and post-sunburn therapy is ineffective in providing symptom relief. Medical literature provides minimal guidance on effective therapies, leaving patients to rely on anecdotal reports and self-directed care.
