How do you treat a 3 day old sunburn that is just starting to peel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aloe: Avoid sun and heat. You can wear a snug cotton t-shirt. Use aloe. It will help with comfort and healing. Take aspirin. Keeping loose peeling skin removed will help prevent infection, but don't be too aggressive with your picking.
