It'll stop peeling of it's own accord quite soon though, just like normal sunburn would.
For future reference, badannas are the way forward!
yeh me too, ive been wearing my hat all day
one of my friends says he suffers with bad ecsma(sp?) on his scalp and has been told to use olive oil overnight, mite try it, ya never no
Or sun cream on your parting(s)! I burnt my scalp once, and that was enough to never forget to dab a spot of the old factor 30 on my bonce.
This isn't helping since the damage is already done...
Aftersun, moisturiser etc will probably help. Last time I burnt it, I tied it up in the morning and covered the dandruffy looking bits, and didn't touch my head all day so that I didn't disturb it!
