Take a cool bath and slather on some aloe vera gel. If it really hurts, put on some Solarcain. It'll numb the pain. You can get it at the pharmacy.
aloe vera gel is soothing & so is noxzema...keep your skin moisturized and drink plenty of water. it'll feel better in a couple of days.
First, cover yourself in aloe. It makes the burning go away.
Then before you go to bed, spread vinagar over the burnt skin. It may sound crazy, but it really works. I used to get burnt very easily. Make sure you wash it off in the morning though, or you'll stink all day. It should work very fast, but you may have to repeat it a second night.
Hope this helps!
If you get sunburned you're supposed to take a cold shower. Try aloe vera to soothe your skin.
Next time, make sure the SPF is enough and reapply sunscreen as often as the bottle says to.
get a can of solarcaine it works wonders. Aloe vera also helps and as crazy as it sounds take a hot shower, as hot as you can stand it. A friend told me to do this and it worked. It stings at first but really works. Also how often did you reapply the sunscreen. you should have reapplied it about every 30min-an hour for effect protection.
condering how badly burned you are, you should probably see your doc because you can get an infection. My sister once got a second degree sunburn, it was awful.
