Why Is My Face Swollen After Being Sunburnt?
I got sunburned really bad on my face 2 days ago. The morning after, i woke up and my face was pretty swollen, so I kept putting aloe and ice on it, and wore sunglasses. Today, I woke up and one eye was swollen nearly shut, and my nose and t-zone were greatly enlarged. I need to get looking normal as soon as possible, please tell me what to do !

hi..you got sunburn on your face..the inflammation in the burnt area cause this swelling..dont use naked ice on your face..do wrap it in some gauze and then use it to sooth your face..do use antibiotic cream...also use some anti inflammatory like ibuprofen ..when the burnt area is healed then use sunblock to protect it from later on consequences ..thanks
