Answer 2

Home treatment measures may provide some relief from a mild sunburn.

Use cool cloths on sunburned areas.
Take frequent cool showers or baths.
Apply soothing lotions that contain aloe vera to sunburned areas. Topical steroids (such as 1% hydrocortisone cream) may also help with sunburn pain and swelling. Note: Do not use the cream on children younger than age 2 unless your doctor tells you to. Do not use in the rectal or vaginal area in children younger than age 12 unless your doctor tells you to.
A sunburn can cause a mild fever and a headache. Lie down in a cool, quiet room to relieve the headache. A headache may be caused by dehydration, so drinking fluids may help. For more information, see the topic Dehydration.

There is little you can do to stop skin from peeling after a sunburn—it is part of the healing process. Lotion may help relieve the itching.

Answer 3

Aloe with vitamin E is about the best thing to use for mild sunburn. SUN SCREEN is the best thing to use before sunburn.

Answer 4

The skin will heal at a certain rate- we cannot speed it up, but we can slow it down by doing dumb things to it.

Cool it off and keep it cool, keep it out of the sun.

Do not apply any lotion, ointment, or gel to it while the skin is still at all warm. Just out of the sun and lots of cool water.

Once the skin is cool (and this will take a long time), you can use moisturizer if needed to keep skin supple- but it does not heal anything.

Peeling is part of the healing process. Let it happen. You can do things to camoflauge it, but don't do anything to mess the process up.

Answer 5

aloe vera gel works best....

do not apply lotions,ointments,oils,or food products-these trap heat inside the burn and can make it worse and also cause dehydration....

take cool showers or baths. hot water will also cause dehydration and can make the burn worse...

make sure to drink plenty of fluids to replace the fluid lost while being out in the sun and from the burn itself...

for pain and discomfort take ibuprofen. 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours

Answer 6

Noxzema

Answer 7

definitely Vit. E....pop open a few capsules and gently smooth it over...best thing ever: prevents scarring, promotes healing.
