Skin problem
I went to Gokarna this weekend and had tanning all over my face. Today morning it worsened as my face started scaling. I then realised that it's kind of sunburn. It looks aweful also. There's scaling all over my face and it's itching and burning as well.

Yes you are right due to excessive sun exposure without a sun protection your skin has reared to it causing a sunburn.
This cannot be treated with over the counter medicines and needs detail prescription and consult.
Kindly use online consult for prescription and precautions or visit a dermatologist for the same.
