How To Treat Large Fluid Filled Blisters On Back And Shoulders Caused Due To Sunburn?
About a week ago I went to the beach without putting on sunscreen, I got a severe sun burn on my entire body but my back and shoulders were the worst. 4 days after the sunburn, I had two huge yellow fluid filled blisters on my shoulders which stayed for 2 days after before shrinking. I had put bandages over top of the sensitive skin where the blisters were so I could go to work and not have my uniform rub against the skin. When I came home and took off the bandages, it peeled off some of my skin with it and I stupidly began to peel some more off too. Now the raw skin on my back is red, scaly and tight and feels completely dead. I don t know what to do in order to fix this as it doesn t seem like the raw skin will peel again.. I don t know if this will heal. Please help
