Answer 2

fill the bath with cold water and add vinegar, then get in and lay back. This will remove the pain.



There are numerous topical skin products that are sold over-the-counter to relieve the pain of a sunburn. Many popular products contain aloe, aloe with Lidocane (RiteAid), or vitamin E.

Answer 3

Take it from me, I am a strawberry blonde...very fair complexion.. and have had many a good sunburn.. Believe it or not Vinegar takes the pain out.. I learnt that in Mexico 25 years ago, and I have been pain free ever since.. take a soft face cloth and soak in vinegar and then dab the affected area.. it works well and fast. And for heavens sake.. Sunscreen in the future.

Answer 4

3 important things. You need to keep hydrated by drinking lots of fluids, take ibuprofen at least once a day to prevent futher inflamation of the sunburned skin and apply lotion at least twice a day.

Answer 5

Use aloe with Lidocane (you can find it at any drugstore) for the pain and take ibuprofen (you can safely take 800mil at a time, that's 4 200mil tabs) If it's blistered badly, go see the doctor so they can give you antibiotic ointment to prevent infection

Answer 6

Aloe Vera will help soothe sunburn. If there's anyway you can use pure aloe vera gel, that's the best, but anything containing aloe will help! Ouch! :(

Answer 7

Soak washrag in vinegar and place on the area until the rag feels hot - resoak the washrag as many times as needed.

Answer 8

put washcloths, soaked in strong brewed black tea, on the worst spots, and apply aloe vera all over. and take a fever reducer, it will help kill the burn. ttfn, Matt
