Answers:
First of all, I am sorry you have to go through this!. Sunburns are the worst!. When I was sunburnt, I used this stuff called Lanacane!. I found it at my local drugstore!. It comes in a spray can, and I just sprayed it all over my body!. It stung for like two seconds, then went away!. My pain also went away within a couple of minutes!. That stuff really worked!. I also used aloe vera!. Aloe is also a reliever for sunburn!. Good luck with everything, and I hope you feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got blisters on my forehead and shoulders once!. I didn't do anything to treat it, I just waited it out!. I peeled and the blisters popped!. It was so gross and hurt so bad!. Your dr!. is trying to help dry out the blisters!.

I'd just take cool baths/ showers, not wear bras with straps or anything like that, and rest a lot!. The good news is that you will probably always wear sunscreen after this, because you will never want to be in so much pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take 6-10 bags of black tea [ MInt, peppermint and spermint also work well ] and boil them in a pot and put aside, leaving the bags in the cup!. Fill your bath with lukewarm to slightly warm water!. Add the tea!. Soak yourself!. The tannic acid in the tea draws the burn out of your skin!. Many feel pain relief after one treatment!.
When you get out slather yourself in Aloe if you have it or cold apple cider vinegar!.
I'm sorry you got burned, that's terrible!. <hugs>Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tylenol, Aloe vera gel and a big t-shirt!. The pain killer will take the edge off,the aloe cools the skin and the big shirt won't aggitate the skin more!. Hope it gets better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
