“Should I peel my sunburn?”
I am a 23 year old female and I have a sunburn. Should I peel my sunburn?

No
No. Do not peel your sunburn; it will slough off naturally. If you do, you may increase the risk of infection. To decrease the peeling skin, consider using Aloe Vera or a nice moisturizing cream on the affected areas.
