Suggest Remedy For Dry, Burning And Peeling Skin Due To Sunburn

I got a pretty bad sunburn on Thursday. I was out in the sun for about four hours with my shoulders exposed and they got extremely burnt. Just today they are beginning to peel and there is a lot of moisture under the peeling skin. I did have some blisters but not all over. When the skin peels up theres a lot of moisture underneath. Is this just my skin trying to fix the damage that it has taken, or is it not supposed to do that? Also, when the skin peels, it s extremely dry but it burns to put on any type of lotion or aloe. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,

I would have suggested you to use aloe vera gel but you are saying that you can't support it in your skin. Then you can use Dermazine ointment on skin which is used for first grade burned skin. It can be taken without a prescription and you can find it online.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
