try it now.

Stay away from soap, it only aggravates the condition!!!

I am sooo sorry!!!!! We are all "only human" of course.

I'd try the Aveeno bath, and use cool water.


Good Luck

If you can stand it - get a box of baking soda and some powdered whole milk, put about a cup of each into a cool bath(or lukewarm, if you absolutely cannot do cool), and sit in it for as long as you can.

Best of luck. I haven't had a burn that bad but I've had a few doozies, and it SUCKS!

I would take some ibuprofen to ease the pain, and keep it cool with clothes, aloe, burn creme, etc. And, really, I would stop with the tank tops- if you are outside. ANY exposure to the sun, on such damaged skin, is, well, damaging.

If you are describing your level of pain accurately, I would prolly call a doctor. That sounds pretty severe to me.

I feel your pain! Man, have I had some doozy of sunburns in the past! I agree with just about everything everyone has said.... I have even tried vinegar! It smells, but it did help to take some of the pain away.

Please watch for blisters! That can be a sign of sunpoinsoning! I have been there, done that... and it is awful!. One year, I got a bad burn while in Florida, and my first morning home after sleeping in my own bed, my blisters had burst, and the sheets were actually ATTACHED to me! Oh, it hurt so bad!

Good luck. Keep an eye for the blackness and the blisters.

one thing we used to buy was a thing called "after sun" not sure if they still make it, but I bought it in the states...........I think is from coppertone.....I think.......

another thing I´ve used with a very very nice outcome is baby bottoms cream, the one used for rashes........yeah that´s the one..........it soothes and calms and reliefs (sp?) very quickly, but you get all white for a long while LOL........ totaly worth it..........(I used a brand made here in mexico but I think any will do)

take care and use lots of whatever you use to keep hydrated the skin.....
