Please help me! something is wrong with my skin?!!!?

Question

no one answered this last time :[

about one week ago i was sunburnt on the backs of my legs

i was wearing short shorts so the sunburn started from pretty high up on my legs.. lol

of course it turned red, burned, all the usual sunburn symptoms..

i treated this sunburn like i usually do with other ones that i get..

-colder showers

-lots of aloe vera! applied 1-2 times a day

today my sunburn does not burn or hurt anymore

but its still at the red stage

except that....

only SOME parts of my legs are red... and there are like SPLOTCHES of my normal skin color(before burned like on other side of my legs)

it looks VERY strange like i scratched part of the sunburn off..........?

i showed my mom my sunburned legs

and she said that shes never seen something like that before

and blahblah it wasnt much help? :[

oh and my legs have not peeled AT ALL yet......

it is less red now, and looks tannish but theres WEIRD COLORING on my legs??? the sunburn was ALL over the backs of my legs

i dont know why there would be such weird coloring????

heres a picture.. dont worry u just see legs hahaha:-----

i also didnt expose my sunburned legs above the knees to the sun at all

and below my knees i barely went in the sun for practically no time at all

WHAT SHOULD I DO?? ITS BEEN A WEEK ALMOST MORE!!!!

thank you

Answer 1

The different coloration of your burns is because it's worse where it's still red than it was where it's gone back to your normal color.  I know you think it looks bad, and you should have used tea bags (already used but wet and chilled or frozen) to even out the burn color and get rid of the red faster.  Start doing that now ... use only black or orange pekoe tea, though, not any 'herbal' teas, since what you want is the tannins and those are heaviest in those teas.  Those are also the least expensive teas, so if you don't have any, just buy them, steep them in some hot water for a few minutes, chill or freeze them and then brush them over your burns.  The tannins have two things they do ... they change your skin color to a 'tan' that is very natural, and they also relive any pain ... and if you start doing this today, you may not have much problem with peeling either.  After this use the cold tea bags for the first two days, then use tea bags in the morning and the aloe vera at noon and in the evening, and the tea bags again at night.

Go to the dr., you might need a triple antibiotic cream for it if it hasn't went away yet. They also might want to test you for the c word just in case. I doubt it is that though, but you never know, sunburn can be a very dangerous thing.
