i think u can

Yes. Do you want the burn to get worse and do more skin damage? But it is better to stay in or covered until the redness goes away. Keep aloe vera gel (make sure the first ingredient is aloe), or take a bath in Aveeno, or use Noxzema to cool the warmth of the burn. All three will help soothe the skin from a sunburn.
Always remember the sunblock of at least 15 SPF to help prevent burns which is one of the signs of skin damage. And always remember the your ears, face, back of the neck and the tops of your feet. Those are always missed places when applying sunblock.

Yeah, but it'll do as much good as wishing you could get your virginity back. Damage is already done

Yes but the sun is going to hurt like hell and your skin will be even more sensitive to the sun so you will be burnt again in a shorter amount of time.

yes you can, and it will help prevent further burning. the best thing is aloe though, and the old ice-water/vinegar remedy, if it's really bad.

You'll still have the sunburn, but you will prevent further sun damage next time you're in the sun if you use sunblock faithfully.

It's smart to keep protecting your skin, but I think you should stay out of the sun to let your burn heal. I like to use Aloe Vera gel on my sunburns, it's really cooling and it left my burn silky smooth after it healed it! Make sure to wear loose clothing around your burn, I know this from experience.
