How do you get relief from a wicked sunburn?

Question:

Answers:
Fresh Aloe if you can pick it right off the plant or cold cream or go to the Dr. he'll prescribe something in a tube thats called SSD (1% Silver Sulfadiazine Cream) works great i used it when i got 2nd degree burns.You migh need a prescription, but it's pretty popular. Sometimes you wrap it & sometimes you air tit out. the doc or Pharmacist will tell you. I used to get litle bubble blisters all over the top parts of my body & i'M dark skinned, just spent too long in da sun.

Other Answers:
natural yogurt poured thickly over the burnt area

Aloe Vera and drink lots of water to rehydrate your skin

buy "biaphine" in a pharmacy
it's the better thing you can do, but I don't know if you can find some if you're not in France...

Put on After sun or if you don't have after sun put on aloe. Or take a hot bath! It will sting while you are in the bath but after that it should feel much better!

Solarcaine or anything with xylocaine in it. You may need to get a prescription from your doctor.

just get some aloe vera and it will be instant releif

avoid heavy creams/lotions that just trap the heat in and make the burn irritation worse
Pure Aloe vera is the best, safest and cheapest relief method
Apply a thin coat to allow the skin to still breath

believe it or not, noxema cools it down instantly!

Yogurt!!! Put on u and let it dry! Then repeat as many time as u wish!!
It really works but afterwards take a shower Ok?

you can use Aloe Vera and lot of water

Compresses soaked in cold milk and applied to the skin for 20 minutes. Do this as often as you need.

Aloe Vera works very well,
but another good method is this recipe:
1. Boil some lettuce and let it cool, then place it over the burnt area.
2. Remove lettuce
3. Cut up a fresh tomato and place the slices over the burnt area.
They've also told me that yogurt works too.
Next time just put on more sunscreen.

aloe

Noxema is the best, but if it is really bad and blistering, see your doctor, and ask for a prescription for some Silver-sulfa-diazine cream.
Lukewarm compresses, not cold. ( it will blister too much)

White vinegar, spray on or dab on and let air dry.
DO NOT APPLY ALLOE( 100 %) if there is heat to your sunburn it will keep the heat in.
Also you can buy skin products that contain lidocaine for sunburn pain, drink lots of fluids and take tylenol.
If Blisters call your Dr.

Cheap and efficient remedy, bowl of water and pour vinegar into it, pat the area which has burnt with it, works a treat.
