You should definitely see your doctor about this. There are prescription creams you should be using if the burn is that bad. These creams will promote the healing, and also prevent scaring. These blisters can also get infected easily, so do not peel the skin.
You can try oatmeal baths. They help for all kinds of skin irritations. Put raw oatmeal in a knee high stocking, then put that in your warm bathwater. Aloe is wonderful for burns.
Make sure you keep an eye on this skin, and have your doc do the same. A burn like this can very easily lead to skin cancer.

Very good answers so far....none from smartasses, which is nice. Also, in between baths, if you aren't going to be wearing clothes anyway, you can gently lay a cold towel on it, and when the towel gets warm, rinse it and do it again. This will draw out the heat. It is similar to cooking. When you take the meat out of the oven, it continues to cook until it cools. Similarly, when you get a sunburn, the heat is trapped and continues to "cook", that is why your skin is hot. Laying the cool towels on it will make that stop and it will not only feel better, but it will heal faster. And definately see the doctor. You need to get some sleep.

OMG I know your pain!! Here's what you do-keep taking your vinegar baths, using aloe (because that will make it heal) and go to the store and buy some Dermoplast!! It is a handy aerosol spray that cools and halfway numbs your burns! It totally works! Also-take a few aspirin and if its as bad as you say, I would see a doctor for some better pain pills that will help you sleep. Good Luck!

I've never done that with a single band, but I've completely misjudged a genre before. For the longest time, I HATED punk. BUT, this was only because I had never taken the time to discover what it was all about. After I had done my research and found TRUE punk bands like; Blackflag, The Circle Jerks, Wasted Youth, The Varukers, Ganggreen, and crust punk like; Aus Rotten and Antischism, I absolutely fell in love with this classification of music. I'm still completely addicted to metal, it will forever be my #1, but punk is a great change in sound from time to time.

Get in to see your doc. He can give you a prescription for silvadene. Sounds like some pretty serious burns, be sure to keep them clean to avoid infection!! See your doc as soon as possible!

Try a cool bath with backing soda in it. Drink lots of water.

I would suggest go to your doctor. It sounds like 3rd degree burns and it could get infected.
