Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
If your sunburn is this bad it is better to apply topical steroids. Sometimes a short course of oral steroids also might be required. I advice you to see a dermatologist as these medicines are not over the counter. Use a sunscreen of high SPF at least >50 over the burnt area.As much as possible avoid sunlight exposure.
Hope this helped
Take care
