Yes, but it...: Takes a bit longer. In general, hydrocortisone (1% cream) is over-the-counter and helps when used twice a day for 3-4 days on mild sunburns. Parents should take their infant to the doctor if the infant is under 3 months old, if the sunburn area is more severe than just some redness, if the skin seems quite painful, if the infant is too fussy, if the sunburn covers more than 1/3 of the baby, etc...

I was really badly sunburned about 8 months ago and the outline from my sunburn is still there on my back. I had never thought of it being a problem because it doesn't hurt or anything, it is just visible. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Thank yo
