What Causes Yellow Colored Skin On Face?
I got sunburnt on my face on Saturday and some of my skin has started going yellow and it s extremely sore and painful and some of the skin on my nose has gone all bumpy, what s the yellow stuff? Why is some of my skin bumpy and what do you recommend doing? I have been applying after sun every few hours.

Hello,
The yellow stuff is the fat tissue, indicating a bad sunburn. Should apply aloe vera cooling gel, and sunburn antibiotic ointment. Plus, should apply cold compresses (not ice) on the affected area, together with Greek yogurt to help regenerate the skin. Avoid further exposure to the sun until totally improved.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
