What Is The Remedy For Sunburn?

I went on vacation and got sunburnt on my face pretty badly. I have a couple spots by my chin that looked like pimples but when I tried to pop them, the first layer of my skin peeled off and started oozing. It has formed into yellow crust. How do I heal this?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having acne with sunburn.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
3. Apply a clindamycin gel like Glocin twice daily on affected skin.
4. Other treatment options are oral doxycyline, minocycline and isotretinoin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
