Sunburn On Legs Developed Into Blister, Leaking Yellow Watery Fluid. What Treatment Should Be Taken?
Hi my husband got his legs sunburnt last Saturday, he has been taking cool baths and treating them with aloe Vera gel, however, today he has all of a sudden developed a blister on the one leg which is leaking a slightly yellowy watery type fluid, could you please tell me the best treatment for this? I should also mention his legs have been painful for him to stand still for any period of time.

Dear Welshwaterbaby ,
It's been a week now since the sunburn. Your husband will feel better and his wounds will heal better if you will get an occlusive dressing done over his leg. It will also decrease the pain he is suffering from. The dressing can be done by any qualified dresser with a parrafin gauze. If the wounds don't heal by another week then you should visit your plastic surgeon.
