    aww sunburn is horrible.. I burn really easily, other than slopping loads of after sun on tho, I haven't found anything that actually stops it hurting.. it calms down after a couple of days tho, unless You keep goin out in the sun..

    Woah, I can imagine it. My mom went on vacation to the hamptons...And how did that pay off? She came back going straight to the emergency room because her body was blistering and she got sun poisoning. It's really horrible.

    Besides lotion, if you sit in front of a fan it helps a little. And definelty stay out of the sun until your burn stops hurting so much.

    Tehe you sound as white as me! I can't go to hot places or I get FRIED like you...thankfully tho I'm not one to peel..once I get burnt like that all I do is keep lotioning it and it turns into a beautiful color!

    Try not to wear heavy clothing as well especially if its on your shoulders..that hurts the worse!

    I spray vinegar on it

    or...

    I soak a cloth in milk and put it on the burned places and it will take the redness out and the stinging!

    Sun burn really hurts and I wish I could help but just watch out the next time you go somewhere by putting on sunscreen.

    I hope your "tan" is better now. I can only recommend aloe-vera, and make sure you scoop the jell out and leave it on the skin for long minutes at a time. The other thing is cucumber slices, they help such the heat out of the skin...

    Good luck, and get well soon.
