Raw Skin After Sunburn

I got sunburned like 8 days ago and I started peeling two days ago.. underneath the peeling skin is a pinkish color… is it normal/? I never had it happen after a sunburn before.. and the peeling skin is like a leathery feel

Answer #1

Wow, you got cooked pretty well by good ol’ Mr. Sun. If a layer of skin is peeling off, then that is one of the worst kinds of sunburn. It’s normal for the layer of skin beneath the peeling skin to be raw and tender in this case.

Answer #2

Yes, it’s normal, I’ve had it quite a few times where my skin turns pink…but it is an indication of a bad burn.

Just make sure to keep it moisturized with aloe vera and remember to put on sunscreen in future.

Answer #3

Wow, that was a bad burn. Yes, it’s normal if you get that badly burnt, but next time wear sunscreen. Be sure to moisturize with aloe vera.

Answer #4
