How To Get Rid Off Sunburn With Very Minor Blisters Across Forehead?
Hi, I got a sunburn with very minor blisters across my forehead. After only a day of the blisters on my forehead, they flattened and dried up. It is now a few days later and the scabs the blisters created are beginning to peel off. The skin revealed is pinker than the rest of my forehead, will this go away on its own?

Hi
You had developed a severe sunburn reaction which is now subsiding.
I would advise you to keep the affected area clean and dry. You need not apply anything over it.
Just use a good sunscreen when going out in the sun .
You can use a moisturizer in case the area is very dry.
The color change that you are noticing will get better with time. It is the normal skin response to heal with slight pigmentation or color loss. It will all get better with time.
