Q: Sunburn peel
asked by: charismagnetic on December 21st, 2008

Dear all,

I recently got a sunburn, really bad one. On my forearms. So they started to peel, really bad and because I was itching to see the flakes of skin disappear. As I was going out alot that week. I started to use my fingers to rub to and fro above my forearm. This resulted in most of the skin falling off. At first, I saw that the skin tone was even and I felt pretty good.

Guess, that must have encouraged me even more to rub more skin off. Now that most of the skin has fallen off. I can see that the skin tone is uneven, esp, where I 'helped' the skin fall off. I really could use some advice.

I was thinking, if I got a suntan, another one, to cover this bad mistake up. Would it be an uneven suntan since parts of my forearm is has dark patches compared to other parts of my forearm?
