Suggest Treatment For Sun Burn
Hi. Im wondering how to remove tape from burnt skin? My son had severe sunburn. The blisters popped I have covered them with a bandage. The problem now is where the tape was stuck to the damaged skin it is peeling the skin off when we have tried to remove it leaving the skin underneath very raw

hi...
thanks for writing your problem here in this forum..
as you said that your son got sun burn and you have applied tape and its not removing now...
all you have to do is to wash the area with warm water..most of the adhesive tapes get off with warm water...then you have to wash the wounds,keep it clean,apply polyfax plus,give painkillers like ibuprofen,anti allergic and use sunblock when the wound is healed..hope it will work..feel free to ask again..thanks
