A member asked:

I got a sunburn a couple of months ago but the rednes won't go away, what can i do? i also have very fair skin and can't really tan just burn instead.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time: There are many topical anti oxidants that may help but are of questionable effectiveness. A gentle salicylic acid wash may help but could also increase redness. Some believe in red light therapy but I am not fully convinced. Lasers or ipl may only increase redness in a fitzpatrick i skin type such as yours.
