Treatment For Sunburn On Chest
Hi. A couple days ago I recieved a really bad sunburn on my chest. I treated with aloe several times a day, and have yet to peel nor blister. After taking a shower on the 3rd day, I noticed that half my chest was burnt, the other half tan. Why is only half my chest this way? There are random blotches of red and random blotches of tanned skin.

Hi...thanks for sharing your problem.....
Sunburn can occur anywhere in the body...depends upon exposure to the sun some area may burn more then other...so this is not a big issue..
What important is to treat your problem...do take bath ,apply antibiotic cream with soothing effect 2 times a day..if itch is there use anti allergic..take some extra fluid...use sunblock when going out in the sun again...better is to cover your chest...thanks..
