Suggest Remedy For Boils/sunburns On Legs And Arms
Hi, i have blonde hair, blue eyes & freckles. today i went out with my friends for quite a while probaly 4-5 hours, and it was boiling. we were sunbathing and now i am abit burnt on my legs and abit on my arms, its not too sore and i've moisturized it, but im wondering cuz i have such pale skin, will it turn into a tan or make my skin a little bit darker?

Hi..thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum...
Sometime if the burn is deep enough the skin will peeld off...new superficial skin layer will regerate...you have to take care of this new skin layer by applying sunblock not to allow it to tan..for now you wash your burnt area apply antibiotic +steroid cream...if pain then use painkiller and antiallergic..hope it will be fine soon...thanks
