I know that you've probably heard the aloe vera thing A LOT!.!.!.believe me!.!.!.but it really does help if you keep reapplying it!. If you store it in the fridge, it can give you more of a relief when you first put it on!.

Ice packs (in small amounts of time) and cold cloths or compresses will also help to minimize the length of time that you have redness and should help with the swelling!.

Make sure that you drink PLENTY of water, in order to keep your body hydrated so you don't develop a fever!. If you do develop a fever, take an acetaminophen or an ibuprofen to help get rid of the fever and to minimize inflammation and swelling!.

If your sunburn is really bad and seems to be very painful, you may want to go see your doctor and get a prescriptive treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My homemade concoction: 1/2 part baby oil and 1/2 part coolmint listerine (the blue one)!. Put both in a jar and keep in the freezer!. Takes out the burn and really helps!. I'm right there with you today! My bottle is right here and I am dousing my legs!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aloe vera lotion helps soothe and heal!. There's also an antiseptic+analgesic spray you can get at Walgreens in the first aide section that will help numb it!. Both of them are kinda sticky, but they should help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

okay this is nasty and stinky, but take a bath with vinegar mixed in!. Or if that is too gross, just soak washclothes in vinegar and lay it on your parts!. feels great!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aloe Vera gel you can usually get it at the grocery store!. Its usually green or blue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you can try using a aloe based non scented lotion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is kind of gross but if you rub yourself all over with milk, leave it for a few minutes and then use cold water to wash it off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aloe and lots of lotion will make it feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
