[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289902, member: 1233"] For the sunburn try using dairy products. Pour some milk in the bathwater (whole, skim, canned, powdered, as long as there is no sugar in it most any dairy will work, even plain yogurt), or apply yogurt directly to the skin. Not sure why it helps, but it is almost magical. You can even use cottage cheese directly on the skin. If all you have is cottage cheese it will work fine as is, but it can also be put in a blender or food processor and smoothed out. There truly IS some enzyme or something in the dairy, I just don't know what it is. I do remember using Noxzema as a kid, or bactine, but as an adult they STING. The solarcaine with aloe can dry into almost a crust or film on the skin that the blue can of solarcaine does not. I hope he feels better. You can use dairy WITH the tea bags also. Oatmeal in the bath is also soothing. Instead of aveeno bath stuff (which I find is exorbitantly expensive) put some oatmeal (not the sweetened stuff in the bags) in a sock or the foot of a pair of pantyhose cut to about 12-18 inches from the bottom. Use about a cup of oatmeal. Tie the end of the sock (best to use a single sock widowed by the dryer troll or the foot of a pair of snagged or holey pantyhose) firmly and put the sock of oatmeal in the bath water. Have the kid smoosh it around so it is like a sock of playdough. This will release enough of the oats so they will work like the aveeno stuff. It is FAR more reasonable than the aveeno stuff. I hope he is less grumpy soon and that he stops hurting soon. [/QUOTE]
