there are some useful answers here i think..
How do you ease a sunburn? - Yahoo!7 Answers
To ease the pain only make a lavender infusion. Crush lavender in a little water and rub it on with cotton balls. Reduces the redness and gets rid of a lot of the pain.
Warm shower (will hurt like a MoFo at the start), then Aloe...
And for future prevention... don't get burnt!!!
Nothing like having melanoma carved from your body
It takes seconds to cover up...
I bet she's VERY aware of this at the moment...
I feel for her, I did the same Australia Day and was INSIDE a vehicle...

Sounds like it must be bad. Aloe is good.
So is it bad enough to have required a doctor?
Did that 12 years ago. Put sun screen on and was outside all australia day. That night I was glowing and got the shakes it was so bad.

Yep it can take a few days to calm down. I have gravel rash from the drive at the moment. 2 days mostly lying in the gravel working on the monster and now my back is all red and covered in welts.hi Mate , not bad enough to need a doctor but just the sting is getting to the missus a bit
As kids we used old tea bags on sunburn. Can't remember if it helped.

tomato is one of the best things for burns including sunburn but you need to use it shortly after for maximum effect.
just slice a ripe tomato in half and and lightly rub the cut side on affected area making sure you get plenty of juice on the affected area
seen it used in fish and chip shops when cooks put their hands in the deep fryer. stops the blistering if done quick enough..

There used to be a product called Butesin Picrate that was the bees knees, locally numbed the burn giving incredible relief and a salve.....so they took it off the market.
I guess now you would need to get solugel or solusite which is recommended by the burns clinics to rehydrate the area. However it doesnt numb the skin at all so it is often combined with a local anasthetic cream like xylocain jelly or soov.
-______________Great news
I just discovered with a bit more of a search that it was only temporarily removed....some glitch....it is available as a schedule 2 medicine, whatever that means.
I can vouch for how good this stuff is for any burns I.ve had, chemical, steam and sunburn.
I always have a tube in the medical kit!
