Brief Answer:
Regarding a sunburn
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service..I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
I suggest you to take an oral anti inflammatory e.g either Ibuprofen or diclofenac for a 3-5 day duration. Sunburn would usually start desquamation after a week when you may use a moisturizer, liberally. Right now just take oral anti inflammatory and protect yourself from sun.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
