I need help with sunburn pain.?
So, i go tanning, Yes Stupid i know. I didn't use any tanning lotion or tingle lotion because it tends to make me burn a little. Long story short i planned to go in for 12 minutes and ended up falling asleep. Got out when it shut off at 20 minutes. Didn't seem too too burned when i got out but woke up around 2am checked the mirror and i was really red. It's painful to even sit in class or work. I began applying aloe vera gel a few hours ago but is there anything common that could help take the pain away? like something people usually have in their house, (advil, ibuprofin, etc.) And also, does anyone know how long it will be before the sunburn pain will go away? i know you can't actually see it so it's hard to tell, but average? Thanks all!

Help!!! I have a terrible sunburn and I need the stinging gone.?
I am allergic to the sun and have had lots of experience in this area. The thing that works best is to take Noxzema Skin Cream and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours. After it has had time to chill, take it out and rub lots of it on your sun burn, it will feel better immediately. Also, you need to drink plenty of water so you can flush the toxins out of your system. If you are stinging too bad, you can take Benadryl and it will help a lot. Good luck! I feel your pain!!
Peeling skin from sunburn. I need it gone fast! Help?
It's unlikely that the tan/pinkish color from a bad burn will be gone by next week. What you can do though is gently exfoliate your skin everytime you shower with a body loofah or nylon sponge to help new skin grow. If you still have the "farmer's tan" tshirt line on your arms by a few days before prom, I'd suggest going to a salon and having them blend your shoulder color with your lower arm color with a "spray on" or lotion tan. They should be able to do a pretty good job, just make sure you go a few days ahead of time so you can make sure it's right before prom night.
Help with sunburn for sensitive skin?
I have very sensitive skin, and try to stay out the sun as much as possible since I burn easy. I had to go to a dog walk today, and I put spf 45 ( i think) on, and still got majorly burnt. Aloe doesn't seem to take the pain out, and really doesn't seem to do much for the burn. Any other suggestions?
Sunburn Remedies......?
I went fishing the other day, and now I have sunburn on my face, chest, and both arms. Even my hands are sunburnt. Thing is, I didn't notice the bottle of sunscreen I had used expired three years ago (I'm visiting my grandparents...they tend to forget things like that). It hurts like hell-every time I move my wrist it feels like my skin is going to tear apart. Could someone please recommend some kind of remedy? Are there medications that work well, or at-home things I can do to lessen the pain? Please help!
