Should i see a doctor about my sunburn?
Its all on my chest. Its on the verge of a purlish color. The coloring seems to be getting better but the feeling isn't. It started to peel and i didnt peel it unless there was big peices hanging off. I am really nauseous. My skin is really dry. The first two day i had it i put aloe on it and now i cant put aloe on it because it hurts. It stings when i am not doing anything but really hurts when i lift up my arm. it has been five days since i got it.
Just because there are alot of symptoms don't tell me i need to see a doctor cause i know sunburns can be bad. but i have never had sunburns like this before.
I am very pale and put a ton of sunscreen.
Any remedes that help?

I had really bad sunburn a while ago too. pretty much same problems. It went away about 8 days later. But sunburn gets to its peak after 24 hours, but if its still feeling you you just got it after 5 days id say go to the doctors.

I would suggest you just drink loads of water, because obviously too much sun can causes dehydration.
Try some tea tree oil ointment. It can work wonders. There is no need to see a doctor, just make sure that in future you put on a sun block, or limit your sunbathing to 15 minutes at a time, or just don't expose your skin at all.

good day! i might advise unlikely to a doctor yet via fact he will basically inform you too use aloe vera gel. ok haha so use aloe vera gel! its amazinggggg! actually soak it on your sunburn each and every couple hours! that is going to burn for on the subject of the 1st 2 minutes yet then that is going to experience very soothing. you will get it at your community drug save. desire your sunburn feels greater appropriate! :)
