What Is The Treatment For The Sunburn On The Legs?
On the fourth I got a sunburn on my legs, the worst sunburn I ve ever had. It s been a week and now it s starting to peel, there are visible blisters on my legs and now that it s peeling when a piece of dead skin comes off, it s all wet underneath and there are blisters underneath too. I ve never seen this before, what should I do? I m very nervous.

Hi
You need to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take a short course of oral steroids like tablet prednisolone 10 mg once daily for 5-7 days.
Also take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily.
