PLEASE help me stop my sunburn itch (on my chest)!?!
Question: PLEASE help me stop my sunburn itch (on my chest)!!?
It was unfortunate, I applied sunscreen while wearing a halterneck, but then changed my top to a low-cut and didn't realise that I had exposed skin where there was none before!. So now half my breasts are burnt!.!.!. somewhat embarrassing!. It's only been 2 days, but the burn has started to ich like MAD! It took me over an hour to fall asleep last night because it itched so bad!. I'm not living near a chemist, and can't drive to one for another week!. Anyone have home remedies!?
I've tried after-sun moisturiser and Sweet Almond oil (in desperation) and neither worked!. I'm not far off trying obscure things like toothpaste and mouthwash! Please can you help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Buy one of those empty spray bottles and add vinegar and water in it, when you feel the itch or feel hot spray it and it will cool it down, and spray whenever you feel itch or burn!. The vinegar smell goes away soon after!. Also mustard cools it down too, but it can stain clothes, The vinegar water spray helps out a lot!. It's a relief I wish I knew that a long time ago before I had my own sunburns in the past!. It also may help the sunburned skin so it doesn't peel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well im not sure if this will stop it from itching but it will help your sunburn heal alllooot faster!. Get those Vitamin E capsules, breake one open and rub the oil into the sunburn!. It will feel greasy but i guarantee the sunburn will be mostly gone and not sore by tomorow!. I know this from experience!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is an ointment called "BurnFree" with Melaleuca alternafolia oil in it; it will stop burn pain almost instantly and heal burns quickly!. If you can't find than, try some cold mustard (yeah, the kind you put on hot dogs!.!.!.) - put it on thick, let it dry, and it shouldn't hurt anymore!. Once the damaged tissue is healed, the itching will stop - the healing tissue is shrinking a little and itching is a normal side effect!. A cool compress or a cold, clean wash cloth rubbed lightly on the area also works!. Good luck!
