Q: is it bad that the sunburn blister (on my ear) is yellow but not leaking? what medical attention should i seek?

: The color is the body serum in the intact blister. Leave it alone &amp; over time it will draw down. If it breaks keep the area clean and apply an antibiotic cream to prevent skin germ invasion. Monitor the site until it dries and heals.
