Suggest A Home Remedy For Sunburns

I had a real bad sunburn, then after 2days or so it started to peel so I started to peel it myself...Ik probably not the best idea but it was really bugging me. Now the skin is dry and rough and has a lizard skin feeling to it. Should I do something? Will it heal itself? Can it be home treated?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello, by your history, the chief complaint now is having a xerotic skin, i would adv you to apply venusia cream locally twice daily on the area and use a bland soap like pears for bathing and a use a broad spectrum sunscreen like shadow lotion 30 min before stepping out.
It should improve in 7 days, in case, you notice any other complaints, i would adv you to visit a dermatologist.
Thanks
Take care
