How To Stop Peeling Of Dead Skin From Previously Burnt Forehead?
My forehead was badly burnt two years ago, and everyday since then it has peeled. The skin rejuvenates itself and I have to peel the dead skin off or it clumps up. Is there anything I can do to stop the dead skin and peeling?
ps. During the sunburn my skin bubbled up and turned orange.

Hi.
It occurs to me that you has skin sun-burns.
The foremost treatment is to avoid exposure to sun-rays or to use a cap which can stop exposure to sun ( in old times we advised to keep exposed x-ray films in the forehead flap of a cap- if you can not avoid the sun exposure). This will reduce the burden of the causative agent an should the first priority of the treatment.
You should consult the Dermatologist to know the exact diagnosis as the excessive peeling looks excessive for the diagnosis of skin-burn. You may be suffering from something else too.
Get treated under the guidance of a Dermatologist ( Skin Specialist) as this is the part of your personality too. Untoward treatment at home can lead to more complications , which may be more difficult to treat.
