gonzalesna 0 #26 May 12, 2008 Quote Use towels soaked in ice water, place onto affected area of skin. This reduces the heat. Keep doing this until you get relief. When you can stand it, put Nivea on it. And do consult a physician. My Dr. gave me this a few years ago and it really does work. So, that branding iron idea my rommate gave me really isn't helping?Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowwhite 0 #28 May 12, 2008 I burn super easy, my mom and a couple of my sisters are red heads, so my skin thinks I am a red head too. When I work outside, I use SPF 32 everywhere, and I still burn every day. Unfortunately, I just had a mole removed that was "very very" dysplastic. I don't know how many "verys" there can be before you have cancer, but the long side of it is, I have to have more surgery in a May 23 to remove another 10 mm of tissue all around to make sure that the "very very" cells don't spread. Slather on that sunscreen folks!skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #29 May 12, 2008 I found some awesome stuff called Ocean Potion Burn Relief. It is aloe vera with a little lidocane in it. It soothed, kept the skin from drying out and the lidocaine helped kill the pain.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

And if you are looking for sympathy, you can find it in the dictionary between "shit" and "syphilis." I'm sure others of the easily sunburned ilk can agree.

A friend told me that you could make a sunburn heal faster by taking a really hot shower that night you got the burn. A cold shower makes it worse. Sure the hot water will hurt like a motherfucker, but the redness will go away sooner. Damned if I'm gonna try it.

flygirl69 0 #47 May 15, 2008 Been there too! Being red-headed and fair skinned I have had my fair share of nasty sunburns... After many years of tanning beds and the sun I have learned the hard way to put sunscreen on. It is scary as hell to wait for the path reports to come back from the dermatologist office Only to find out that you have skin cancer, then they gotta take more.... If don't use sunscreen next time, when you get burnt again, take advil or tylenol and slap the aloe gel to it ASAP, and keep putting it on.(keep the gel in the fridge). it's cold but feels good!
