| Re: extreme sunburn?
I would try using some aloe vera gel if you haven't already. I recently got a bad sunburn, so bad that my entire upper back/shoulder area is blistering. Yuck! I swear by the aloe vera gel, I just have my parents slather it on (gently) and then lay down under a ceiling fan with the skin exposed and it really cools the area down. It moisturizes it too!
As for the peeling skin, that you just need to wait out. You should let the skin peel naturally, no picking at it. That could cause it to get infected because peeling it off yourself can expose more raw skin than intended.
As for the skin being tight, this is what I do if it is tight on my back, like now. I straighten out my arms in front of me and clasp my hands. Then I slouch my back. Keeping my arms straight and my hands clasped together, I kind of pull my arms apart (still keeping the hands clasped) - this gives a good stretch of the skin without touching it.
Good luck!
