[QUOTE="Star*, post: 538275, member: 4964"] I think time - and you need to answer Insanes questions. The three levels of burn are 1st (sunburn) -reddening and irritation of the skin 2nd (blistering of the epidermis) and 3rd - charing and blackening of the skin .... If you have just the first? It will be worse when the sun goes down. However -sprays and topical ointments may not be the answer. If you have any blistering you need to be seen by a doctor so there is no secondary infection which can be VERY bad or get very bad. If you do have blisters? Do not pop them and DO NOT put butter, or oil on the skin. Dress with loose bandages and get thee to the doctor. If it is just sunburn? Even water is going to hurt on your skin so you may want to avoid a shower for a few days - but do apply cool cloths, and aloe like Keista suggested to keep the skin hydrated. Also solacain or any of the cain =sprays. Yup it's going to hurt going on but feel good for a little bit. When I lived in FL - got a sunburn? The first thing I'd do is get in a shower of cool water? Dump white vinegar on my skin and wash it off with cool water. Have no idea to tell you how it works or hydrates the skin but it took the sun-go down sting out of most of the burn. Then I'd put aloe NOT body lotion on it. Clear aloe - Hope you feel better - but if it blisters? that's second degree - get to the doctor. [/QUOTE]
