Does A Sun Burn Need Doctor Intervention?
hello doctor, I am not sure if I have minor burn. I was lying down on the hot sand on the mountain, it felt burning and it was almost 90+ degree during that day. Regardless burning and pain, I decided to man up and lied down there for 5 minutes with nothing on. It hurts for 2days which is today and my skin is reddish. I really hope this will go away. Or is this something I have to see doctor with.
