We went to the beach saturday and i got sunburned on my back all the way up my neck and down my arms.I have school tomorrow and i need to know how to get the pain to go away over night.
I have tried solarcaine, Bactine, noxema and motrin and nothing works i need to be able to wear a shirt.
Oh and its like a 2nd degree burn.
Answer:
If it blisters see a doctor. This could be dangerous. Go to Wal Mart and get the burn gel. It workes good.
You should probably go to the doctors. You may want to try Aloe vera.
This could be really dangerous and to reiterate what he said, if it blisters go to the emergancy room.Go to the store and get burn gel and put it on! Also maybe some aleo-vera. Keep drinking water you can get really easily dehydrated from sunburns.
I would suggest pain killers but I dont know how well they will work.
Don't laugh - but Preparation H works wonders on sun burns. It's anti-inflammatory medicine really takes the sting out of crispy skin. Try it!
Okay, go to your doctor to make sure, but for right now, put some aloe extract on it. You might have a bottle of it from the store, or if you have an aloe plant, cut off a lobe and skin it, then run it on your burn. It's going to hurt for awhile, but definitely contact your doctor to get some other tips on how to stay remotely comfortable. And DEFINITELY wear tons of sunscreen next time.
Your immediate problem is wearing a shirt that could be possible if you put a dressing for a couple of days! It may take longer to heal, but you will be able to wear shirt without dressing after 2 days.Good luck!
INGREDIENTS: Tea
INSTRUCTIONS: Take some tea bags and make a batch of boiled tea just like mom used to. Place tea in the refridgerator to cool. Once it has cooled dip a rag in and dab on burned area. The titanic acid in the tea will turn the burn to tan. It was used in burn wards for years, and there is a reason.INGREDIENTS: two teaspoons of ketchup
half cucumber pureed
3/4 container of noxemaINSTRUCTIONS: mix all together, make sure it is very cold, let sit on area as long as you feel is needed. DO NOT rub in, cover with cold cloth, sit. We have tried several things people suggested and came up with this miracle burn reliever! let us know how it worked for you.ITS A SUMMER LIFE SAVER!
This is a fabulous tip for getting rid of sunburn...run a cool bath in the tub and add about 1/2 gallon of distilled white vinegar.it will take all the sting out, but the down side is you will kinda smell like a pickle for the rest of the day. but in my opinion I would rather smell like a pickle than be miserable and not able to move...feel better
honestly pain killers are not made for sunburn pain so stop overdosing on them they wont help. if there is a blister DO NOT pop it this can cause infection, also do not apply butter on the burn will cause infection too. ice will make it worse because it kills healthy skin cells in the burn area, so try to stay away from it. apply some burn cream and aloe vera gel, this will help to cool the burn, than wrap it up with sterile cloth or gauze, i know it hurts deal with it. if after a few hours the blistering is still there or the blisters have popped than you should go to an urgent care center or an ER just to be safe, but leave the ER as a last resort. if however there is no blistering than apply aloe vera gel, this will help with the pain and if tomorrow it still hurts apply more aloe vera gel and wrap it up with sterile cloth or gauze, put that t-shirt on and go to school. sunburns hurt as you have just now realized, next time put on sunblock with an spf 30 (at least) and dont spend more than half an hour to an hour in the sun.
