hello im a great believer in antihistamines and another tip is bicarbonate of soda in your bath water. i find if i have a yeast infection and really itchy this helps me..im sure it would have the same affect on your sunburn.
im sure i need not remind you of the dangers of sunburn to the skin,,if this doesn,t settle ask your pharmacist for anything they can recommend or see your doctor.
