SUBNURNNNNN!!

OMG I am in SO much pain - I have no idea WHY i got a sunburn!!!!!!

We went to the beach on Sunday and I am completely red and look horrific.....aside from looking stupid, I am in SO much pain....my neck is so red and anything that touches it makes me cry....I can barely wear any clothing and I have no idea what to do!??!?

So much for 'thinking' I had olive complexion that never burns!!

Anyone have any ideas on how to deal with the pain?? Any remedies!!??!?!

aloe gel, ice packs and asprin

I had really bad sunburn a few years ago so bad I had to sleep sitting up

aloe vera and aspirin!!!!! and if you can find it, theres this stuff called 'sooth-a-caine' from banana boat, its blue, has aloe vera in it and a cooling effect so it tsoothes the pain

even fh gets burnt and he's dark all year long
feel better lovey

Noxema!!!!!!!!!!

Rub it in like lotion :)

I agree, pop the aloe gel in the fridge. Drink a good amount of water too. I find that Advil helps more with the pain/headaches/inflammation that comes from sunburns. Just keep telling yourself that the worst part will only last about a day or two and then you'll start feeling much better.
One of my friends' remedies is to actually put sunblock ON her sunburn. She says that it's really moisturizing and soothing. I've never tried it though.
Feel better. I'd put a hug smiley here but don't want to hurt your burn

DEFINITELY keep hydrated and take advil and like everyone said put the aloe in the fridge.

And be careful...if it starts to peel and it looks like it has blisters DONT PEEL IT!!!! I did this one time and it was the worst...it hurt so bad I needed tylenol w/codeine and I got scabs everywhere. If you leave the blisters alone they'll reabsorb themselves.

thank you ladies....

it actually hurts to the point that even attempting to slightly rub the cold aloe vera HURTS.....I can barely get any on because the pain has become unbearable....

I guess I have to try to suck it up as much as I can and keep trying to put some one....my face I can deal with but my NECK is the most horrible part of alll!!!!!

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lots of aloe and water!!!!!

Then maybe for now, don't use cold aloe...use cold aloe when you can tolerate it. The coldness helps to soothe it, but if it's making it hurt, then use it at room temp.
If your bottle of it is cold now, just warm the aloe between your hands before you use it.

Do you have a tube top you can wear? If you do, wear that instead of a t-shirt/tank top. You won't have fabric rubbing on your neck then.

(Clearly from my multiple posts in this thread, you can see that I've been there on a few occasions too...I know how icky you feel!)

You can also try witch hazel....

whatever you do...just keep it hydrated...put on aloe or lotion or witch hazel or whatever it is you are using...several times a day....that way you won't get as bad of a peel. Its still gonna peel anyway...but do the best you can not to pick at it!!!!

'09er crashing....

Mix water and vinegar together (1:1 ratio)....take a clean face cloth or small towel, dip it in the mixture and apply it to your sunburn.

It will help with the pain. I had a BAD sunburn years ago, to the point I couldn't walk because my shins were so tight from the sunburn and it did wonders.

Feel better!

Did you want to get savage?? Like in the heart break kid?
OMG that's the worst! I heard if your put apple cider vinegar it helps. That happens to me when I go to the beach and I get so mad at people around me for not telling me that I was getting sooo red.

FEEL BETTER!!!
