How Can A Sunburn On The Left Ankle Be Treated?

I have a small area of what Think is sunburnt skin on the inside of my left ankle. This occurred over two weeks ago and is still red. It s not sensitive to touch or painful at all. If anything feels a little cool to the touch. I concerned that it has lasted this long.
