Suggest Treatment For Severe Sunburn And Peeling Of Skin
Question: Last week when to a trip out to to a sea park and the heat was not that strong but me and my family got surprisingly sun burned, my arms are starting to peel back to normal , just that I have been going through some anxiety and anything scares me lately (kind of in a hypochondriac state) I saw a little white bump on my arm next to my sunburn , it may have already been there all along , but since my mind works weird right now I just get into my head, no pain or nothing just me scratching my arms and the sunburn so it peels faster. Just wanted to get an opinion. Also I don't really get exposed to sun much , I keep most of the time covered but the first day that I took the sweater off I got burned, will attach a picture of it
Brief Answer:
Continue to use aloe vera, you will be fine in few days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Based on the information and picture, I would suggest you not worry it is typical sunburn and it is healing. So relax you will be fine within few days.
I would suggest you to continue aloe vera to sunburned areas, it had soothing effect.
Apart from this use cool cloths on sunburned areas and
take frequent cool showers or baths. Drink plenty of water and if blister are formed, I don't think it be appear in your case based on the picture, don't touch them just leave them alone.
There is little you can do to stop skin from peeling after a sunburn—it is part of the healing process. It is simple sunburn, you will be fine, no need to be anxious about this.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
Continue to use aloe vera, you will be fine in few days.
