Sunburn 1 Month After Surgery?

newnoseeJul 17, 2013
I didn't know My nose would be this sensitive but I got a sunburn one month after surgery, And I don't know what to do.. My nose is red and even peeling a bit. My surgeon said to avoid this before, and I took my hat off for literally 20 minutes I didn't think this would happen seeing as I have never gotten sunburned in my life. What do I do???
