Answer 1

If you have access to an Olivera Plant.  Cut off a stem and peel the skin back.  Use the jell to rub over your skin.  When done put the reamining stem in foil and place in Refridgerator,  it will feel nice and cool for the next time you use it.  Do this three times a day or after a cool shower or nice cool soaking bath.  You could also use the olivera jell you can buy at the store, keep in refridgerator to keep it cool.  remember to moisterize often.

Answer 2

the best thing you can do is to go see a doctor, because that could lead to skin cancer since you are fair skinned...

yeah the blisters will eventually go away, but it could take from a week to three weeks.  

Answer 3

get some ocean potion it smells really good and cools you down i have blisters filled with pus on my nose [eww] or use aloe Vera it will go away too remember too always use sunscreen!!

Answer 4

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.

well whenever i get a sunburn i always put lotion on it, but depending on how bad it is depends on how much you use. For me, I put some on the sunburn and the next day is is pretty much gone!
