i got a really bad sunburn on my legs, back, chest and stomach about five days ago. i put aloe vera on it and most of it has healed, but i noticed some minor blistering/peeling on my stomach and chest (close to where my bathing suit lined my skin) and i popped/pealed the majority of the dead skin off, even though i know that was a bad idea. i put aloe vera on it immediately after and it burned like crazy, so i washed it off with cold water. i just put neosporin on it because i'm scared i'll get an infection. it still stings and it's pretty red, though there's no puss (yet). i'm hoping that the neosporin will soothe it and help it heal quicker, but i don't think it's necessary at this point to see a doctor....or is it? i'm also scared that it will scar. this has happened to me once before, and it never scarred or got infected. but it didn't hurt this bad. what should i do?
