Walgreens has a aloe gel with lidocaine. It's fantastic and cheap. It's a large blue bottle. Highly recommended. I had the same thing about 3 weeks ago and after a day I was feeling much better!

Vinegar on a cotton ball! Just like dab it on the burn lol. Hold it there for like 30 seconds, when you take it off the cotton ball will be really warm it pulls out the heat from the burn for whatever reason! My 4th grade teacher taught me that & I'll never forget it lol.

Aloe Vera!! It's best to use it straight from the plant but if you don't have that just buy a bottle from the store! Make sure there aren't any oils in too :) also you can try this thing my grandma taught me and trust me I know it sounds freaking crazy but it works! When you get in the shower use warm water and try getting hotter and hotter until you can't take it anymore. Or if you just try sitting in a jacuzzi (did I spell that right? Lol) it helps ALOT I know I know it's crazy and people are going to say I'm wrong but you HAVE to try it! It really really helps! I did the jacuzzi thing for like 10-15 min and then I went and jumped into the pool it felt great and my burn was gone the next day no joke!

Aloe Vera helps tons but another thing is to either lay thin cucumber slices on your burn or go for a lukewarm bath with a whole cucumber sliced and put into it. I went to the fair last year and reapplied sunscreen but missed an area on my back/neck and I can't use aloe Vera as it gives me hives but cucumber definitely helped. The next day was sooo much better.

Try after sun lotion - I like the banana boat one it's got aloe in it as well.

Like every one said, aloe vera all the way! But also you can soak the burn in milk. It sounds weird, but it will help better than just soaking it in plain water.

I lathered in coconut oil when I was really burned and it helped reduce the redness and peeling of my burn in about 2-3 nights.

Milk compresses will also help relieve some of the pain.
