I guess it's an addiction similar to a hangover, "I won't go drinking again. What time should we go out?"

I guess none of your products were alcohol based. Some cheap Aloe Vera's are.

Addicted to Vitamin D are we? :)

You can't 'uncook' a lobster when it's already well done! It's supposed to be served on a buffet and NOT put some aloe vera on it!

By KellysHeroes• 28 Jun 2008 22:18
KellysHeroes

With all the suggested treatment you got, you better try each on a part of your skin, then find out which is better for you.

Now. No kidding. check this link:

http://www.essortment.com/all/sunburnstreatme_rdti.htm

Having checked that and going through the "blended potato" part, I recall what we used LONG time ago. We used to mix corn flour and rose water. Then apply it like a mask. Try to avoid the mirror then :D

The thing that will take the sting is vinegar. Surprising no? Try it. Thoiugh you will smell like a salad, but that then burnt meat lol. After the vinegar has done it work put on a soothing cream like aloe vera

Qatarisun, look at the video Dracula posted. It's actually very helpful. It mentions you must use cold water and calamine lotion.

I remember my mom using caladryl lotion (which I think might be the calamine lotion) when we got sunburned as kids and it worked like a charm on the itching.

By FranElizabeth• 28 Jun 2008 20:52
FranElizabeth

For a vampire you're very knowledgeable about skin treatments...

marinade?

qatarisun... I'd do what he says and then find your garlic. Godd luck!

Apparently taking a cold bath tightens the skin, whereas taking one as hot as you can bear draws the burn out... don't take my advice before anyone else has confirmed it though- you'd never speak to me again!

Aversion to Sunlight

The effects of these diseases, if left untreated, can be devastating.

The malfunctions in the body's chemistry cause the skin to be extraordinarily sensitive to sunlight, with a result that exposure to even mild sunlight can disfigure the skin, cause the nose and fingers to fall off, and make the lips and gums so taut that the teeth, although no larger than ordinary, look like they are jutting out in a menacing, animal-like manner.

The chief defense against the painful effects of the sun, Dr. Dolphin http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9C0CE7D71739F932A05756C0A963948260

suggested, would be to venture forth only at night, as werewolves(DaRuDe) and vampires(ME :p) were said to do.

Some victims of the disease also become very hairy, he said, conceivably one of nature's efforts to protect the skin from the sun.

QS be careful when you apply anythng to already irritated skin. I would suggest going to a doctor right away. Aloe vera is supposed to be really good for skin. It soothes and cools the skin. But dont rub it in. Just apply it over the skin. Milk(or even ink i've heard) is good but i would still go for aloe vera since its safe and show a doc. Good luck!

QS try oatmeal with milk...mix the oatmeal with some milk then put them to your skin...it will sooth the stingy feeling in you..

Try taking a cool shower or bath or placing wet, cold wash rags on the burn.

Avoid products that contain benzocaine, lidocaine, or petroleum (like Vaseline).

If blisters are present, dry bandages may help prevent infection.

If your skin is not blistering, moisturizing cream may be applied to relieve discomfort.

Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can help combat pain

Anesthetic creams or sprays containing benzocain and lidocain provide temporary relief

Antibacterial and antimicrobial soaps and antiseptics help prevent infection

Aloe-based products soothe and cool overheated skin

Moisturizers can help keep your skin from drying out and tightening up

DO NOT apply petroleum jelly, benzocaine, lidocaine, or butter to the sunburn. They make the symptoms worse and can prevent healing.

DO NOT wash burned skin with harsh soap.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I HATE THE SUN!!!!

Having done this on the dhow trip myself even with sunblock it will be very painful. One cream I used in Cuba was a gel from clinique after sun it is very soothing on the skin a bit expesnive but there is also a good one from l'oreal. On the other hand take a cool shower and apply a very fat cream to stop the damage wrap yourself in a big bath towel if ou are not going out.It will peel anyway but if you do this for the next couple of days it will help.

Also you can use milk and ice to help relievet the pain.Apply milk with a cloth to burned areas. Aloe Vera is also very good for it.

Drink a lot of water, as you will be very dehydrated, take 1-2 advil or ibprofin (helps with reducing the swelling and burning) and cover your skin in aloe vera every hour.

Also, baby oil can really help reduce the peeling!

Hope you feel better :D
