A member asked:

How can i get redness outta sunburnt skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be patient.: Generally, time is your best ally; of course you must avoid repeat burning. In many of my patients over the years, skin care products containing green tea extract have helped to reduce the time needed for the red to fade.

In July I had a very bad sunburn on my chest, but thankfully it did not blister. Pain got better after a few weeks, redness lasted for months after especially if I got hot. I'm left with rough flaky skin that is slightly shiny. Should I be concerned?
