hi. children are specially prone for sunburn. if you were to walk into my clinic i would have a prescribed a mild steroid such as hydrocortisone cream. it will heal the area faster.
but since steroids are prescription medicines kindly see your local physician for a prescription.
wish you and your family good health. thanks
