Answers:
1!. Cool water!.

A cool bath for pain relief!. Fold a large towel and soak it in cool water!. Apply the towel to your sunburned areas then lie in a cool room!. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated!.

2!. Take an anti-inflammatory medication!.

Aspirin and Ibuprofen will both help with the pain and soreness you're getting with this sunburn!.

3!. Avoid breaking the blisters!.

Don't peel the blisters as this will make it take longer for your skin to heal- also you could get scarring!. Cover them with a bandage instead!.

4!. Try some natural remedies!.

This will help relieve the pain: chill some plain yogurt in the refrigerator until cold!. Gently apply to the sunburned areas!. You can also do the same with mayonnaise or make a paste out of dry milk and water to apply to the sunburned areas!. These sunburn treatments can be quite soothing!.

5!. Consider hydrocortisone cream if you're having significant discomfort and swelling!.

Ask your pharmacist for 1% hydrocortisone cream!. Apply to the sunburned areas!.

Sunburns hurt really bad!. I'm sorry that you have a bad one!. Take some ibuprofen (Advil)!. That should help to relieve some of the pain and inflammation of the sunburn!. You could try some hydrocortisone cream!. You can get this at any pharmacy!. It should be near the neosporin!. But really, aloe vera will be just as helpful!.

The goal with any burn is to stop the burning!. Try a lukewarm or cold bath (if you can stand it)!. You may want to add some colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno) to the bath, as this may be soothing!.

I know you don't want to hear it at this point, but make sure to use sunscreen with a high SPF in the future!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive tried everything,,,, Milk bath,, Vinegar, Noxzema, and every brand of Aloe Vera gel that wal mart sells, and so far the only thing that I can say really worked the best is
the brand!.!.!.!. Solarcain,,, its by the band aids at walwart,, its an Aloe vera gel with Lidocain in it and it works great!.!.!. I will never buy anything else,,, Ive tried every kind of Aloe/Lidocain!.!. brand!.!.!. and this one is by far the best!.!.!. Lidocain is a topical pain reliever, I know this doesn't answer your question very good, But hopefully it Will help!!
it also comes in a spray form which works really good also, it just doesnt last as long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
