Help!

My fiancé got quite severely sunburned about a week ago on our holiday in Mauritius.

Naturally when he first was burned it was very painful and red but it was almost a week ago and this has now started to turn purple! He says it is just tender to the touch now and there is no evidence of swelling I was just hoping for some advice!
