Hello,
The yellow stuff is the fat tissue, indicating a bad sunburn. Should apply aloe vera cooling gel, and sunburn antibiotic ointment. Plus, should apply cold compresses (not ice) on the affected area, together with Greek yogurt to help regenerate the skin. Avoid further exposure to the sun until totally improved.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
