I got the sunburn on the 14th and it is now the 16th. I'm also supposed to be going out with friends the 25th and 26th and we'll be outside all of both days. One of those days being out most of the day at the beach. I understand I need to put LOTS of lotion on but I want to know when my sunburn and blisters and the pain will be fully gone.?!

red skin is a first degree burn. blisters make it a second degree burn. while they will eventually go away, you might want to see a doctor about those. he can prescribe an ointment which will help.
now, you're also sensitive to the sun. make sure you use a really high sunblock. otherwise, you may end up with sun poisoning. that could require a stay in the hospital.
and that doesn't even count about the increased possibility of skin cancer.

Though I think everyone heals differently, I really think your sunburn and definitely your blisters will be gone by the 25th/26th. It's plenty of time. You might, however, start to peel by then; the lotion can help with that. Use aloe vera gel for the pain and blisters. Should speed up the healing.

I don't know about the time, that depends on how fast you heal on average, but put 100% aloe vera gel on your sunburn asap. You can use the leaf of a plant or buy the aloe vera gel that is 100%. You will be suprized how fast the pain goes away and it will speed up the healing of the blisters. This comes from personal experience, good luck.

Hang on two more days... -then the pain should go away & the peeling will begin. Be CAREFULL when you go out next week...-It sounds like you just got a REALLY serious Burn, & your skin could be TWICE as sensitive to the sun as usual. TRY to cover up as MUCH as possible, as WELL as using lots of lotion... -Otherwise, have a good time! :)

well to eaze the pain soak in a warm bath. use bath salt,fizzers or just bubble bath for best result, I personally recomend lavender scented. put oloe on it them and to get rid of the flaking from the blisters wash them with "Grampa's Pine Tar Soap" it's brown and smells like leather :( but it does work miracles
