Yellow crust forms after sunburn whilst skiing. what is it? how do i get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lotion, time: Whenever you get a sunburn there is damage to the skin that needs time to heal. The yellow crust is part of that healing process. Keep the skin moisturized and it will heal on its own in a few weeks. There is no quick way to get rid of the yellow crust. It is protecting the damaged skin beneath it from infection.
