Suggest Treatment For Sun-burn
I have a sunburn on my chest, the skin that peeled off was gooey and now my chest is scabby and wrinkly. What kind of sunburn is this, and will it be a scar or be wrinkly for the rest of my life? What do I do to heal this? What degree is it? I am fourteen, weigh 110 and I have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine for it.

Hi...thanks for sharing your problem..
You got 1st degree burn...no need to worry so much...just do the following things...
Wash the area twice a day...use antibiotic and soothing cream..use anti allergic if itch is there...painkiller if pain is there...
Do use sunblock in future when going outside..
Wrinkles will go when the burn will heal...dont worry about it...thanks
