Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your sun burn.

As per your history it is a week long around, it must be healing now, you need to take much water intake, avoid direct sun exposure any more, have cold packs on it, keep it clean and if possible dressed properly.

If it is discharging any sort of fluids like serum or pus you need to take antibiotics in consultation with skin doctor.
During mean time apply a steroid plus antibiotic cream.

Hope my answer will help you and visit us back if you have any further questions to be answered.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
