Peeled skin after sunburn, is it bad? (Photo)

Glorious443083
A couple days after getting sunburnt, I noticed my forehead was flaky. I was scratchhing it and it started peeling and I peeled off all the loose skin. Now there's a lightlyy colored patch of what I assume is fresh/raw skin with red spots. How bad is it and how long will it take to recover? Should I let it heal naturally or use products or medication?
