I am peeling on my shoulders, back arm, neck and working its way to my chest...?

Question

I got a sunburn, and I am peeling everywhere... I tried Moisturizing lotion, but that makes it peel worse.... What can I do, and is there anything to worry about?

PS I was out in the sun for 7 hrs, and I used a little sunblock(not alot.)

Answer 1

Any thing to worry about, 7 hours in the sun, how about skin cancer in about 15 years or so. But as for the lotion causing your skin to peel more, t hat believe it or not is a good thing. Its like a skin peel you get from a Dr. But they use acids to make the same thing you are complaining about and they get $1500 to $2000 a treatment. People have to use the greasy vasaline looking preperation H on there face, to prevent future cancers. Dont go out in the sun, or sun bath for at least 2 to 4 weeks depending on how long it takes you to peel and you want to peel, and bath and try the greasy preperation H instead of lotion, then take a long not too hot bath, and put lotion on. I suggest neutragena, emulsion. You will look better, your skin will be soft and brand new. So its not so bad, just a little uncomfortable. Hope that answers your question. God Bless and good luck. We all have done this, welcome to the club.
