Sunburn Followed Huge Dry Yellow Patches. Will It Leave A Scar?
Hi I got a sunburn a few days ago and its slowly getting better each day. Now to follow the sunburn came a few patches on my face that are yellow. Now my questions for these patches are what can I do to heal them or get rid of them? Also they look like giant just dry yellow patches, but I have seen photos of peoples skin of what looks like what I have and it left marks on them now will I get that as well?

Hi brandon
Use sunscreen with SPF factor more than 30. Avoid sunexposure. This should help. If there are some residual scars still left, then other options will be tried.
