Sorry to say, there are really no fast cures for sunburn. Sunburn damages the skin and that take time to heal. There are things you can do though to minimize the pain.
Home treatment includes:
cool showers or baths
avoid creams or lotions that can hold heat inside (oil based)
drink lots of fluids
motrin or tylenol for pain
see doctor if you have blistering
stay out of the sun
if you must go out, keep sunburned areas covered
you can use OTC preps designed specifically for sunburn (to numb the pain and remove redness such as Solarcaine or aloe gel)

I lined my hand in aloe vera and chilly packs, it healed in 2 days. i do no longer heal nicely customarily. you may get the Solarcaine jell with lidocane. this is remarkable green, or purely get aloe vera jell. you will ought to conceal the burns so which you do no longer scrape the blisters open. yet get the aloe and ice on there.
