I got a sun burn about 2 week ago.It's still sort of red and peeling. I don't think that is normal because it hasn't lasted that long before. Should I go see a dermotologist?
If your skin become sore and inflamed, use some aloe vera gel to help sooth and rebuild the skin. It works really well and i would certainly recommend it. I got sunburnt VERY badly and went to the doctor, they told me that putting aloe on the burns would help clear it up.
If you're still having problems in a week or so then i'd suggest you going to the doctors.

If things don't clear up in the next day or two, definitely go to the doctor. They can give you medicine to keep on it and they will let you know if it's sun poison or not.
Wear sunblock!! The sun is now hotter than ever and is causing a lot of skin cancer.
