Should I Peel a Sunburn?
Peeling sunburned skin is rarely a good idea. In most cases, the safest choice is to let damaged skin shed naturally while keeping the area moisturized and protected. You may gently trim a small, fully detached flap to prevent it from catching, but pulling at attached or blistered skin can increase the risk of infection, scarring, and delayed healing. If your sunburn is severe or shows signs of infection, consult a healthcare professional.
