I got a sunburn on my back, it stopped hurting...?

Question

but now its peeling, what should I do to stop the peeling or help speeed up the healing?

Answer 1

Calamine lotion will ease the itch as the skin comes away.

you cant speed it up, it will come off in its own time.

Answer 2

you can't stop the peeling, you damaged your skin and as new skin grows under the damaged skin, the damaged skin is sloughed off...now you get to worry about skin cancer for the rest of your life, congratulations...just keep applying lotion to keep the new tender skin moisturized.

Answer 3

well u can put milk i noe i sounds gross but do it or just peel it with tape

the milk is for the iritation i will burn alitle after you peel it

Answer 4

aloe vera gel.

Answer 5

Next time use sun cream, your back is probably not used to being exposed to the sun.....bad idea if you want to avoid skin cancer.

aloe vera gel is excellent for cooling burnt skin and it helps to retain moisture.

At this point the damage is now done. I recommend you exfoliate your back using a scrub and moisturise it after you shower.

Happy sun bathing!
