hi..i can understand your concern...you got pink spot on your head...actually the severity of sunburn depends upon the amount of duration you remains in the sun...as you mentioned that you use sunblock with spf30..this means this sunblock will protect your skin for extra 30 minutes that your skin can do..i will advise you to use sunblock with longer spf..you can also use mechanical sunblock.
in my opinion the spot on your forehead is due to sunburn is not that much sever which needs any treatment...you just need extra protection that's it...hope you get you answer...thanks
