A member asked:
I have a sunburn on my lower left cheek and my chin that is peeling. at what stage in the sunburn process is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a process: Burns have "degrees", not "stages". This is a definition of severe it was when it occurs, not a process. Redness is stage 1, but injured skin may peel off. This does not change the degree. Do not peel the skin off as this worsens the damage. Use gently cream to the area daily and let it heal naturally.
