I went tanning today, and the receptionist person like made a mistake and put me in a bed with stronger bulbs then I normally use, I got sun burned. Besides aloe, what can I put on it to help the discomfort level go down??? Thank you!

lidocain or something.
I got mine for bath and body works... it keeps you from peeling.. it was called.. put on the ice!
and you can also get from wal-mart or wal-greens or whereever...
Solarcaine spray... it keeps it cool also
or if you want to do the natural way
1/2 tsp lavender essential oil
1/2 cup aloe vera juice
1 tsp vitamin E oil
1 tbs apple cider vinegar
Directions
Combine ingredients and store in a spritzer bottle. Shake well before use. Apply as often as needed to reduce pain and speed healing. Keep a bottle in the refrigerator for extra cooling relief.

"I tried this recipe when an SPF 15 sunblock did not adequately protect me during a kayaking trip. I had all ingredients except the aloe juice on hand, so stopped at the health food store on the way home to get some. I was able to whip up this remedy very quickly using my hand blender. Highly recommended, especially if you keep it in the fridge. In addition to helping heal a sunburn, this spray smells wonderful; lavender is calming thus helping one cope with the pain of the burn. I felt that applying some aloe gel in between spritzes might have increased the effectiveness of this remedy."

All i have to say is
put on sun screen everyday
if you get burnt you have a chance of getting skin cancer
you will know you have skin cancer if there is a black dot smaller than a freckle

talk to your doctor and attorney first before the tanning booth owner. did you save your papers of proof there? Time is your best friend. If you have damage you may have a lawsuit
