Get you some aloe gel for sun burns and minor skin irritations. Apply liberally for several days to keep skin moist and not itchy. If you have Noxema it will work well also and vinigar also takes the pain out of any burn. Aloe is the best though as it keeps you skin moisturized while it is healing and the aloe will take the burn out of your skin. You are looking at a couple more days of your skin being sore, tender and burning if you go without putting anything on it. Go get some aloe dude, sun burns HURT! Feel better soon! :o)

Probably about 3 days. I'm actually just getting over a bad burn. My shoulders had actually bubbled and then popped and peeled! really gross eh? i bought aloe vera and it really soothes the pain, i suggest it. Just when you start to peel, if you do,don't pick it cause it may scar. But don't worry, as long as you don't pick it and take care of it with aloe or another moisturizer everything will be fine! a cold bath might make it feel better too, temporaily! Hope this helps you, get better soon :)

It should start to turn overnight tonight. You'll want to help it though. Use soft wash cloth (or hand towel if larger area). Soak cloth in cool water, wring it out and rest it gently on burnt area (dont rub area). when the towel dries out, repeat it a few times. Also take a couple tylenol - it's an anti inflamatory as well as pain reliever, so that will help as well.
