How To Get Rid Of Redness Caused By Sunburn On Shoulders?

Hi I went to Pittsburgh, PA about 3 months ago and ended up with a really bad sunburn on my shoulders and chest. The one on my chest is gone but for some reason I still have the redness on my shoulders..and this is 3 months later. There s no pain or anything but it is highly visible especially after a shower. Was just wondering what s going on and if I should be concerned at all?

Hello
Thanks for the query.
This redness can be reduced with the use of a mild steroid lotion like cortisone to be applied in night and a sunscreen to be applied in morning.
Do apply a sunscreen even if you are wearing a covering cloth.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
