Why does my back peel after sunburn but my butt doesn't?

I went tanning and got a bad sunburn. My back and other areas peeled. My butt was mostly burnt. So my question is why doesn’t the butt skin peel?

Answer #1

I think butt skin is softer than back (area more exposed to the sun), so the back might shed more skin than your butt, making the peel more obvious
