Answer 1

I know that you've probably heard the aloe vera thing A LOT...believe me...but it really does help if you keep reapplying it. If you store it in the fridge, it can give you more of a relief when you first put it on.

Mix a half-water, half-vinegar solution and apply it to the burn with a spray bottle or soaked cloth. This will sting a little bit at first, but it definitely pulls the burning sensation out of your sunburn.

Ice packs (in small amounts of time) and cold cloths or compresses will also help to minimize the length of time that you have redness and should help with the swelling.

Take lukewarm (room temperature) BATHS. Taking showers with too high of a water pressure could increase your pain. Taking a too-cold bath won't help, and will make you freezing. And a too-hot bath runs the risk of burning you even more, or irritating the burn that you already have.

Make sure that you drink PLENTY of water, in order to keep your body hydrated so you don't develop a fever. If you do develop a fever, take an acetaminophen or an ibuprofen to help get rid of the fever and to minimize inflammation and swelling.

If your sunburn is really bad and seems to be very painful, you may want to go see your doctor and get a prescriptive treatment.

Answer 7

Oh wow.

You REALLY need to wear sunscreen like every day.

Especially when you go outside for long periods of times..

You need to keep your skin very moisturized. So use a nice moisturizer and also use aloe vera. Make positive that you will wear sunscreen from now on, especially now to keep this from getting worse.

If you continue to get bad sunburns like that, then yes, you will eventually get leathery skin and possibly skin cancer.

If this is the one of the few times, then no, you shouldn't worry.

Be careful!
