Suggest Treatment For Sunburn On Stomach And Chest
I got a pretty bad sun burn about 72 hours ago on my stomach, chest, and legs. It has been pretty painful and red and today i thought it was looking better until I noticed the skin on my upper right thigh and my stomach appear to be slightly purple. should i be worried about this or is this normal?

Hi...thanks for sharing your problem here...
You got 1st degree burn...no need to worry about it...just wash it normally...do apply some moisturizing cream..if pain is there then use polyfax plus ointment.....this will heal in a week...dont forget to use sunblock when healing occur..this will prevent excessive melanine deposition...thanks
