Please advise what is the best thing to use on very bad sun burns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor asap: Burns of any kind can lead to infections, septic shock and death. In addition to possible life threatening problems due to burns, permanent scarring can also happen if the burns are not treated correctly. I would recommend immediate evaluation by a doctor to avoid possible serious complications.
