Sunburn Remedies?
Posted: 08-28-04 00:13am

The past two days i've been out in the sun for a couple of hours and I have a terrible sunburn on my shoulders. A mere touch with a gentle fingertip causes me a lot of pain. I fear taking a shower tomorrow because of the burn o.O

a cold washcloth warms up in minutes from it. Does anyone know of any home remedies for treating sunburn?

Pure aloe is wonderful.. You can get it at any drug store. Put it on several times a day until your sunburn fades

Thank you for both your bits of advice, guys...But at this point, I think I may need to allow the burn to heal on its own. It's at a stage where the skin is completely torched, scarred, and feels like sandpaper.

My mom said it's probably a second-degree burn o.O

It does sound like you burned yourself pretty bad. It's not too late though.. If you use the aloe it will help the skin heal better.. It helps to moisturize it and keep it from cracking and peeling as much.
