Not much you can do AFTER you've gotten burned. It's been a month since I got a 2nd degree burn from the sun, and it's still burnt to a crisp. Funny thing is, I used sunscreen every hour... but I still got a portion of my legs (both legs, symmetric parts got burnt) crisped. They don't hurt anymore - they're just still a really deep red. Oh well, better than hurting! But yeh, watch out for the sun or anything like that - 2nd degree burns are no fun.
Since you don't have any Aloe Vera (that stuff is WONDERFUL!!!!), do you have anything like oatmeal for an oatmeal bath? My parents used that on me when I had the chicken pox, but it does amazing things for sunburns too. It relieves any kind of skin irritation, like burns, itchies, etc.

We only have a little tiny bit of oatmeal. I guess I'll have to suck it up until tomorrow when I can get Aloe Vera.Originally Posted by buckner
Is aloe vera a lotion or a gel? Or is there both? If so, which one do I get?

I love my Alizé!
We usually get the aloe vera gel.. It's cooler.
I think they have lotion too, but i'm not sure.
Anyway, I'd get the aloe vera gel...

Gel is better! It feels so much better.

Dang Karen you beat me! Also, even if you have just a very little bit of oatmeal, throw that in too.
Take some aspirin to help with the pain and do not tan again. Like someone else "my" age said, you'll have to deal with the "results" of this burn many years down the road with the spots and regular skin cancer checks. If I want to look tan, I use a self-tanner. There are many good ones on the market now; no reason to ruin my skin any more than it already has been from my suntanning follies in my youth. My days ot baking in the sun with only baby oil and iodine to "protect" me are long over.

if you get aloe vera, make sure you get the gel/lotion WITHOUT alcohol. If it has alcohol in it it will just dry your skin further and not do a lot of good.

Vinegar Vinegar Vinegar.
I got burnt quite badly on Saturday at our yard sale. I am very fair. Dab on some vinegar (don't wipe it on) and let it dry. Or cold Tea bags.
but I tried the vinegar the same day I got the burn and it took the pain right out and helped to stop the itching. then after that just moisturize every couple of hours.
R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

Oh my goodness.. that sounds extremley painful... I agree with what most everyone else suggested: aloe vera gel. (It's a clearish green gel.)
Alyssa, my mom won't let me tan, eathier! It's very dangerous, and can cause skin cancer, from too much sun..

Lady's Human is right, aloe is the BEST thing for burns. I'm sorry you're hurting. I've gotten sun burned MANY times and it's not worth it. That's why I'm so pale. I haven't been in the sun in years.

Well, a tanning bed, in the first place, isn't safe. I agree, use some Aloe.
Next time you want to tan, try a MysticTan or some spray-on stuff.. it lasts for a week, it's easy to apply and is 100% safe.

I've gotten second degree burns from forgetting sunblock one day. I was so hot I was cold and I had blisters everywhere. Solarcaine was my best friend. That stuff works real nice. I don't consider being tan worth the risk of skin cancer. Trust me, you're more beautiful when you are happy and healthy.

Because I can!
There is some over the counter burn medicine. It would be spendy to get enough for your whole body but that stuff works real nice.
Any drug store would carry it.
