Answers:

Your sunblock was shot. It did not protect you. Lotions lose their potency over a year. Buy new stuff every year. Especially since you have already had skin cancer.
Aloe vera is GREAT ~ I use it myself when I've had too much sun. You can use solarcaine (it has an anesthetic to dull the pain if its very painful). In a day or so it will feel better.
Maybe you should go to a Doctor if the degree of sunburn is too great. Do you think it is more than a first degree burn? Redness only. If it blistered it's second degree - go to a doctor.
