i got sunburnt on saturday now four days later my legs are still swollen and red and sore, and now the front of my legs are bubbling and *****, sore to touch. what does this mean? is there a bigger problem because the redness has slowly decresed but the swelling is still quite big? my legs are a bit numb and the skin is very hard.

The best treatment for sun burns is to increase ones oral fluids, motrin, and something like an aloe vera gel.
