Sunburn: Yes you should be worried and you must go to the nearest Emergency facility to begin to help you control the blistering. Won't get better overnight but will get better over time. Don't forget to put cream on when you are in the sun.

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?
