I had 2nd degree burns one time. Bad news, I had radiation sickness also. The doctor told me to take oatmeal baths. I had to get some special oatmeal crap for them.There was also an aloe gel that cooled sunburns. I forget the name.
As Smaug said aloe is best.
Vinegar, believe it or not might make it cool down. That is an old family remedy. 🙂

It didn't look that bad on the beach, a bit hot but not that much...
Now I am in severe pain. How to help myself ? Yoghurt, ice cream ? 😛

Just got some as I had a sunburn last week too.
Works wonders with or without lidocaine in it... lidocaine will cost a little more but has more pain-relief along with...

Originally posted by Ice ColdVinegar was seriously popular when I was a boy. Easy to be wise after the event, but an ounce of prevention is still better than a pound of cure. Invest in some effective sun screen creams.

Originally posted by ivan2908Old family remedy of mine, cactus. Find some, peel it, crush it, blend it, and apply. Don't be afraid to apply to your hair if you have scalp sunburn as well. It is very healthy for your hair as well. If you choose that method tell me how it works out.

Take my word for it. Aloe. I have had 3rd degree burns and used it and the results are instant. Buy an aloe plant. Split the member, scrape the gel from it and apply directly to the burnt area. I swear to you, it not only works, it speeds healing. Ask any welder. All the old hands use it. Never be caught without an aloe plant in your home. You can even eat it for stomach problems. If stranded without water on the desert, eat the pulp as a water replacement.All the natives of the southwest, indians and mexicans call it the medicin plant and use it accordingly.
