Hi...you got sunburn...when that occur there is oedema of that area so there is swelling..no need to worry so much...just keep it clean..wash it...apply polyfax plus ointment...use icepacks wrapped in gauze to reduce swelling...use painkiller if pain is there...use antiallergic if itch.....will be fine in a week..thanks
