text: really bad sunburn   and now my face has stopped peeling but it still hurts.  what can i do? my face is still red from where i peeled and its just very sensitive and hurts. remember next time you come in out of the sun do this take a wet clothe and put vinegar on it. wipe face good it will stink, but it will take the heat out of the burn. it works good. now since you've already peeled i would get some regular burn cream and apply to face, but not in your eyes. so, sorry i bet it is painful. good luck
