Why is it bad if your sunburn peels? i%26#039;ve always wondered... what%26#039;s so bad if you%26#039;re sunburn peels, why do you have to put aloe vera on, and why do your parents freak out syaing, %26quot;OHMIGOD, that%26#039;s going to peel!!!!%26quot;

Best Answer

The peeling indicates a deep injury to the skin. The superficial layer of the skin basically died - and is being sloughed off. That is not the problem, however. The problem is that that kind of deep burn is more likely to lead to skin cancer, later on. I am an ER doctor
