What Causes Yellow Skin After Sleeping Under Sun?

I just fell asleep under the sun 3 days ago. First day went good, very red and burned, but no other sings. The second day i woke up with yellow liquid in my face and swolling around my eyes. I tried aloe vera and calm cream, but the yellow skin doesnt seem to heal. I have attached a picture, what can i do?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having a sunburn rash.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily and antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral vitamin c taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
