How To Treat Sunburn Leading To Yellowish Crust On Head?

Hi- I went and sat outside yesterday for a total of 6 hours and got a fairly bad sunburn on my face and top of my head. Now today when I woke up I had yellow crust on top of my head and a little bit on my nose. I ve tried everything to get it to settle down from taking a cool shower, to neosprin and even wrapping my head in a towel to absorb some of the fluid. Please help me with some simple at home treatments. Just so I can wait for Monday to go to the doctors

Seems you are more sunburnt then you expected. you should continue applying Neosporin from getting infected. do not let it dry out completely. If very uncomfortable then apply some cool compresses and do not ruub it or scratch it.
