Can Sun Burn Cause Blisters And Scabs?
I got a really bad sun burn 3 days ago and my face skipped the blisters and is just turning into a huge scab. I am also retaining water in my legs and ankles to the point that it physically hurts to move them or stand up. Ive tried elevating them and cold compresses but they just keep getting bigger and more painful. How do I stop and reduce this?
