Dermatologist : Consult can help w/education for dealing w/skin health. Beyond that please look at your overall lifestyle. How is your exercise level? How is your food plan? Do you get enough sleep? Avoid skin products that contain alcohol. Peace and good health.

Future exposure: What is done is done and you need not worry about one episode of skin burn. Do take care to prevent recurrences. Wear protective clothing and use sun screen when expecting exposure to sun. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
