Question

what should I do to get rid of the sun burn I got? my skin is all pink and sensitive.. please help

Answer 1

aloe vera gel, also vinegar stops the painful burning you have with a sunburn.

Answer 2

You're going to have to deal with it for a little while, but it will go away eventually. Aloe Vera is a good start, but there are better painkilling burn jellies available commercially that do a much better job. (This is coming from a native Floridian who's dealt with sunburn in one form or another on a yearly basis.)

Answer 3

Vinager (weird I know) It'll sting for like 5 seconds after you put it on but after that it actually takes the sting away!

Answer 4

Well I don't kno the fatest way maybe eat alot i geuss but the fastest way is to go to the store and thet have this cream u put on only once and then it takes it right off!!! (my friend tried it!!)

* Self-help remedies *

There is no cure for sunburn except time and patience. Treatment aims to help manage the symptoms while the body heals. Suggestions include:
Drink plenty of water, because you’re probably dehydrated as well as sunburnt.
Gently apply cool or cold compresses. Alternatively, bathe the area in cool water.
Avoid using soap, as this may irritate your skin.
Don’t apply butter to sunburnt skin.
There is a range of products available that help to soothe sunburn - see your chemist for product suggestions.
If using commercially prepared sunburn products, it might be wise to choose spray-on solutions rather than creams you have to apply by hand.
Calamine lotion (or equivalent) may be helpful if the sunburnt area is particularly itchy.
Don’t pop blisters.
Consider covering the itchy blisters with a wound dressing to reduce the risk of infection.
Pain permitting, moisturise the skin. This won’t stop the burnt skin from peeling off, but it will help boost the moisture content of the skin beneath.
Take over-the-counter painkillers, if necessary.
Keep out of the sun until every last sign of sunburn has gone.

Peeling skin
There’s no cream or lotion that will stop burnt skin from peeling off. This is part of the natural healing process. Suggestions include:
Resist the temptation and don’t pick at the skin. Allow the dead skin sheets to detach on their own.
Remove detached skin carefully and slowly. Don’t rip skin sheets off or you risk removing more skin than you intended.
Apply antiseptic cream to the newly revealed skin to reduce the risk of infection.
Consider covering up with clothing to stop other people from picking at your peeling skin.

Professional treatment
You should see your doctor or seek treatment from your nearest hospital emergency department if you experience symptoms including:
Severe sunburn with extensive blistering and pain
Sunburn over a large area
Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Fever
Dizziness or altered states of consciousness.

Prevention is best
It is important to cover up with clothing, apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to unprotected skin, wear a hat and sunglasses, and keep out of the sun during the middle of the day. Further suggestions on how to avoid getting sunburnt include:
Don’t assume that sunshine is ‘safe’ when it doesn’t sting your skin - that sting or ‘bite’ you can feel is infrared radiation, not UV radiation.
UV radiation levels aren’t linked to temperature, so don’t just ‘slip-slop-slap’ on hot days. Sunburn is more likely on milder days when the temperature ranges from 18° to 27° Celsius.
You’re more likely to get sunburnt when you’re relaxing and taking it easy, such as watching outdoor sports or picnicking at the park. Don’t forget to ‘slip-slop-slap’.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that solariums are a safer way to tan - you can get sunburnt in a solarium too.
What many people assume is windburn is actually sunburn. Winter activities such as snow skiing pose a high risk of sunburn because UV radiation is more severe in alpine regions than at sea level. Snow is also every efficient at reflecting UV radiation.

Things to remember
Sunburn can occur in less than 15 minutes and can take a few days or weeks to heal depending on the severity.
There is no cure for sunburn except time and patience.
Mild sunburn can be treated at home, but severe and blistered burns need prompt medical attention.
Excessive exposure to UV damages the skin permanently and may cause skin cancer, including the dangerous malignant melanoma.
