I Got Bad Sunburn Which I Had A Blister From My Shoulder To The Back Of My Neck And Numbness On Back And Right Thigh.

Hi, i recently got a pretty bad sunburn which i had a blister from my shoulder to the back of my neck. Anyways, it is now peeling and i have noticed that there are patches of skin on my back and my right thigh that are numb. Does the sunburn have anything to do with it ? Should i wait it out or go see a doctor. Thanks.
