A member asked:

Sunburned face peeled 2 weeks ago and i still have red irritated skin underneath. using panthenol cream and aloe vera. what more can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Keep the area moist: The best treatment for a superficial sunburn is to keep the area moist through the use of water-based ointments, such as bacitracin, neosporin, or aquaphor. I would recommend discontinuing the panthenol cream for now, and using aquaphor or bacitracin 2-3 times daily for the next 1-2 weeks. The redness should fade with time as the healing process progresses.
