I got a bad one on my sholders and back last Thursday, and it has just begun to peel. It is so fun to pick at it! It does not leave it red or painful, just dry. I put cooling cream on it a couple times just after I got it, but not since. Since it is so dry, should I now use a moisteriser? Yes, I know I should have used suncream!
