Having Sun Burn. Stings To Touch And Its Red. Remedy? Prevent Pealing And Tanning?
Hi, i am a very fair skinned person but yesterday i had no protection against the sun and i got some nasty sunburn on one side of my face. Its not blistering as far as i can tell but it stings to touch and its very red. I have some important pictures (head shots) to take this upcoming sunday. What is the absolute fastest way for me to heal this sunburn and prevent pealing and tanning. (i don't want one side tan and one side pale, i prefer my pale skin). Please help!

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Please use a mild steroid like hydrocortisone,
This will reduce the burning and irritation.
in day you must apply a high spf, 50+ sunscreen.
Please meet a dermatologist if it persists.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
