My face has gotten bumps due to getting sunburnt, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Apply moisturizer: Swelling is a normal reaction to sunburn and should be treated with topical aloe or aquaphor. Take vitamin c 1gram twice a day and consult your doctor if the swelling does not resolve in one week. Practice better sun protection in the future with many of the available over te counter broad spectrum sun blocks.
