A member asked:

My boyfriend got sunburnt on his back 4 days ago. we used an aloe gel and it was improving. tonight, his whole back is covered in bumps. not red bumps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bumps: Please take him to the nearest Emergency facility. They are quite likely to take care of his red pumps, but if not the Emergency doctor will call a Primary doctor for further evaluation. Hope all goes well.
