There are no "cures". Sunburn is damage that has been done to the skin and the skin needs time to recuperate. However, you can speed up the pain relief process.

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
cool wet tea bags applied to the burn may also help
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)
