Kristin	Here are some things I've tried in the past and each one worked 1. Get two towels wet and put in freezer. Once frozen or very very cold place over legs. That will help some pain 2. If the burn is new and still has the burninging feeling (I know this sounds gross but it works) put Desitin (diaper Rash cream for babies) on it at night (beware it will get all over your bedding) 3. Aloe applied as often as you can will help 4. Silvadine is great for the burn too Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dathinman8	The main treatments for sunburn include using a topical moisturizers made with aloe to soothe the area, and provide some relief. Taking cool baths can also help with the pain. Ibuprofen can be taken to reduce the pain. To prevent dehydration a person should drink lots of fluids. If the sunburn had developed into blisters, an antibiotic cream may be prescribed to help prevent a secondary infection. The main thing is to try and keep the individual as comfortable as possible. There are also Aloe Vera gels that contain ingredients that will slightly numb the burn to relieve the pain. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

libraryn71	First of all, you need to take some Ibuprofin (if you're not allergic to it). It will help reduce the swelling and pain. Second, take a very cool to cold bath--this will help reduce the damage that the burn did to your skin. It will also help with the swelling, pain, and redness. If you can't take a bath, get some ice and rub it on the burned areas. Third, drink plenty of clear fluids and make sure you're keeping hydrated. If you have blisters, do NOT pop them. This will not only hurt, but it can leave bad scars. Blisters mean you have at least second degree burns. Not good! If you have a lot of blisters, especially if you have a fever or the blisters have pus in them, you need to immediately go to the doctor. You probably have sun poisoning. This is very dangerous and can make you very sick. If your skin is peeling, do not "help" it along...don't peel your skin. That also can cause very bad scarring (I have a big scar on my nose from peeling it as a kid when I had a sunburn--I'm now 35 and the scar is still there!). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
