BAD SUNBURN! HELP ME PLEASE!?

Question

I got really bad sunburn and it peeled off and then my stomach hardened and now it looks all scaley and crusty and now that is starting to peel off a little.

It hurts really really bad and I have tried everything.

I put aloe on it, bathed in vinegar (which hurt a lot!), put tea on it, put neosporin on it, they all stung it horribly. I dont know what to do anymore! Please help!

Answer 1

1. Aloe vera (has to be fresh)

2. Tea tree oil - (helps A LOT!)

3. Take a hot/warm bath

Hope this helps! (feel better)

Answer 2

Quit poking at it and leave it alone! ><

Your body heals things on its own! It doesn't need your help. Just try and avoid the pain as much as you can.

Answer 3

i know it sounds weird bit if you have enough milk take a bath in cool milk or poor it over yo. i don't know how but it really helps!

other than that try and leave it alone and don't expose it to any more sun :)

Answer 4

I work in an urgent care and we treat burns of all types with silvadene cream. Treated 4 of them just today in fact.

Answer 5

Vinegar baths wont help at all. What would is to take a cold shower often and to cover your skin with loose clothing to protect the burns from friction and more sun. You shouldn't try to peel off the dying skin or scratch it either.

Answer 6

drink plenty of cold water to cool from the inside out,DO NOT PICK at it as this will increase the risk of infection.natural yogurt applied to it is very soothing.personally i think it sounds like there may be a bit of infection in there already from what you've said about it being crusty so i would go to the gp or a pharmasist at the chemist will be able to advise you if you can't get to a gp.

Answer 7

OKAY whatever you do, don't put anymore creams on the burn, it'll only get worse!!!! Trust me, its happened to me!! Just ice it, or run it under water. Try to swim a lot too to relieve the pain.
