Suggest Treatment For Sun Burn
I recently spent a few days at the beach and the last day I got a little sunburn on my face. After a day, the redness was gone on my face, but I have scabbing over my nose. This happens everytime I get a little sun on my face. In the past, if I peel it, the skin underneath is red and raw. Nowhere else on my face peeled/scabbed. Could this be skin cancer?

You got sunburn but its not that much sever...no need to worry about...just wash the face with some oily soap...do use some soothing lotion like calamine etc...use good sunblock when going out in the sun again..the raw area will heal by itself...but you must take care next time going out in the sun...enjoy good health...thanks
