What Turned My Face And Nose Yellow After Applying Sunburn Cream?
i was out in the sun for about 5 hours a couple days ago and my face was just really red and ive been putting aloe vera on my sunburn to help heal it but when i woke up this morning the skin on my nose was yellow. it wasnt a blister or anything it was just yellow. what is that and what should i do?

Hi...thanks for asking about your problem in this forum..
After sunburn you got yellowish discolouration....when you get the sunburn the superficial layer peel off..so underlying tissues are oedematous(fluid accumulation)...thats why it seems yellow...no need to worry...wash the burnt area frequently..apply some antibiotic ointment...it will get fine in a week...after healing occur use sunblock to prevent further discolouration...thanks
