Is there anything else I can do?? ...I'm in SO much pain...

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..

Hope you start feeling better soon. Everybody has some really good suggestions. Some of what I would suggest.

Just stay out of that thing, or you will wrinkle like a prune and get age spots when you are older. Take care of your skin now while you are young, and you won't have to worry about it when you are older.

Personally, I can care less. I don't feel tan does anything or make your more prettier, but oh well. I get tan natrually and all the time. I have never gotten burned that bad and last year was the first time in my life I ever got a sunburn. Regardless, my mom makes me wear VERY strong sunscreen when outside in the summer for a long time and she doesn't want me trying to tan.

Next time, if you want to tan can't you use some kind of lotion? I know my sister uses a lotion instead of sitting in the sun or going to a tanning booth and she told me it was burn free. You may want to research it though.

Thanks everybody!! I think I'm going to try the vinegar out. I took another cold shower today, because it feel so good. We also have Solarcaine, and i've been useing it, but my clothes get stuck to my back

I'll have my mom pick up some Aloe Vera today. Thanks everyone!

The exact same with me!!! Although no matter how much sunscreen I wear I still get tanned.

The lotion is good but make sure you try it out first on a small area of skin. You don't want to turn orange

Thanks everybody! I called my dad and asked him to get me some Aloe Vera Gel WITHOUT Alcohol and he came home with Solarcaine GEL

It has Aloe in it I guess, but I was so mad, lol. It feels a lot better after I used that but it is still painful. I hope I dont get blisters, that would suck on our vacation

My mom is going to town to see if she can find "regular" aloe vera for me.
