Well for sure no one can remove a sunburn. But if you have one and it's hurting, my advice to you is next time either stay out of the sun or wear sunblock. To relieve some of the pain you can always use aloe vera, I like to put a bottle of it in the refrigerator then put it on. You can also pour vinegar on the burn area. That has worked for me in the past.
Really that's about all you can do, you'll just have to tough it out. But next time you should really put on sunscreen. It will only take you a couple of minutes to do but in the long run you are actually saving your skin.

sunburn is actually ranked on a 1st to 3rd degree scale because it is just that...A BURN! there are some OTC gel lotions that are effective such as aloe vera (green gel) which actually feels REALLY good as you apply it.
Remember because it is a surface burn of the top layer of skin, wet and chill a couple of hand towels in the freezer and apply it to the affected area. This will help draw the heat to the surface more quickly and reduce the pain sooner.
hope this helps mate

You really should try to prevent sunburn because the damage it causes to your skin is permanent. To help relieve the pain I would suggest a zinc-oxide ointment and periodically placing a cloth soaked in cold water on your face.

ya can't remove it, but what you can do is get a wash cloth and wet it with the coldest water you can find. sprinkle some white vinegar on the cloth and lay it on the burn. Smells like a pickle but it takes out the sting of the burn.

My wife is a red head and she has always used a fresh tomato rubbed over the skin and the juice takes out the sting and the redness.

You can't remove it. But, I have heard that bathing in tea helps to soothe it. Apparently it has something to do with the tannins that are in tea. Of course, it would take a lot of tea to fill a tub.

you can use aloe lotion to help...don't think there is any way to get rid of it tho...just try using aloe lotion to make it heal faster and be less painful...if this doesn't help enough for you pick up 4-5 morphine needles...that should do the trick

You cannot remove it, it is a burn, just as if you burned your hand on the stove. Try cool baths and lots of moisturizer.
