What should I do if my skin is peeling from sunburn?
1. Avoid further exposure to ultraviolet rays by seeking shade or using sunscreen.
2. Gently clean the affected skin with a mild cleanser and apply moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
3. Apply a damp towel or cold compress gently to the sunburned area to help reduce redness and pain; avoid using irritating cleansers.
4. Avoid using rough towels or clothing on sunburned skin to prevent worsening peeling and skin irritation.
5. If symptoms are severe, such as significant redness, pain, or fever, seek medical attention promptly, as medication may be required.
