If my skin is burned badly, when should I see the doctor?

See a doctor if you have severe sunburn.

Not all sunburns should be left to home remedies. See a doctor right away if your skin is so badly burned that you experience chills, nausea and fever - or even if you are simply extremely fatigued. If you have visible, large blisters, and discolored/darkening skin or severe itchiness, visit the doctor for professional sunburn treatment.

I really want to thank you for this tip. I was really worried about my skin, and my doctor said it was good that I came in so I wouldn't be scarred. I will come back to you for any advise I need.
