Answers:
Yup definitely a normal thing going on. I get sunburnt all the time living in Hawai'i. You'll be fine! If you get really concerned and think that maybe it isn't a normal reaction (obviously we can't really tell you one way or another 'cuz we can't see/feel through this computer screen) you should go and see a dermatologist (skin doctor). All the best to you!

Other Answers:
Take a vinegar bath

Take some over the counter antihistamines. They will make you a bit sleepy, but the itching will stop too. Take two or three of them.
Good luck!

2 remedies:
1.) Rub vinegar on it
2.) Benedryl

You've done all that you can do for a normal burn. You may ought to consult a doctor about the tingling. I don't know how bad your burn is but is sounding serious. If money is a problem, go to the health dept and get it looked at. Stay away from petroleum products. Use deep moisture like you'd find in Curel or Shea butter. Good luck Nana It is normal. It means your skin is getting ready to peel from the sunburn. I would take a vinegar bath then when you get out of the bath or shower pat your skin lightly to dry off. Then put coca butter lotion on your skin and hopefully that will work. If not and it gets uncomfortable then you might want to go to the doctor and see if he/she can help you get the itch to stop.

Aloe on the burns will pull the heat out of your skin giving it a cooling effect and it's also used for a variety of burns. I swear by it.
