I'm in so much pain. My back is bright red. I tried fresh aloe, a cool bath, solar Cain, and aspirin. Does anyone have any other tips! Or suggestions. I'm hurting really bad!!

I swear, I went through the same thing last week lol (laughing at myself not you) and honestly can say what your doing is sufficient. It'll naturally heal but taking cold baths and using aloe vera will help. Your going to peel soon and new skin will grown. BTW!! Do not! I repeat! DO NOT USE BODY SCRUB OR AND EXFOLIANT BATH PRODUCTS on your body or face. It'll be painful as f***. I was an idiot wanting to do my regular shower routine so this is a warning from my experience.

Take a bath with plain oatmeal, take 2 cups and put them in the water. Water has to be not to cold or hot in between. Go in for 30 minutes and you'll feel better.

It won't do anything for your skin but to just feel better lie down on your bed and get someone to spray icy cold water on the burn with a water sprayer on mist... definitely the best feeling. I burnt my back so bad when I was In fifth grade I almost went to the hospital and I had this done everynight just so I could get to sleep

Noxzema works wonders on a sunburn.

Or, if it's really bad egg whites should help clear it up in no time.

Put some white vinager ad water in a spray bottleand spray yourself. ITS GOING TO BURN LIKE A MOFO but this will bring out the burn and it'll go away. also olive oil. it soothes and moisturizes your skin. it keeps you from drying out and turns your burn into a tan instead of peeling. your skin peels when it dries so keeps it hydrated. I swear it works I'm white and I burn but ibalways use this after and I tan beautifully :) goodluck.

Cold wash cloths, cotton sheets, and a lot of pain killers. go to doctor and get checked out if it doesn't go away in a couole of days. do you take any acne medication?
