besides cream and aloevera, ice!, usually i put ice>aloevera>cream/ointment
heard of that, too just not benzocaine, lidocaine and petroleum jelly
Aloe vera and a fan. Put a LOT of aloe on the sunburn and stand by a fan. The cool air will feel SOOOO good.
anothernikki thats what i did last night when i got back from my trip!! That felt soooo good with the fan blazing on the skin

Milk, vinegar, witch’s hazel…. There’s a LOT on here!!
Glad the fan trick worked for you. That’s all that really helps me. That and Advil.
yeah, fill the bath with milk and soak in it

eww cornflakes in the milk….nasty eeewwwwww
Take Advil or pain reliever
i took a first aid course, and they specifically said not to go try crazy remedies that sound too good to be true.

okay okay, i saw it on a kids programme…
but, its worth a shot!
i will try something like that but im not going out and buying 4 gallons of milk since the price for everything is so high now
lol well, whatever u do, let me know if it worked =]
Found this on anothernikki’s website she gave me
Skim milk. Milk protein is very soothing, says Dr. Schreiber. Mix 1 cup skim milk with 4 cups water, then add a few ice cubes. Apply compresses for 15 to 20 minutes; repeat every 2 to 4 hours
It can’t hurt! Unless you’re allergic to milk. Then it can and will. Heh.
You’re welcome!!
cool! so i was right about the milk then! well done ‘hannah montana’…
talk to your pharmacist… they will point out the best stuff for you.. ( i know… lol.. been there).. there is actually a special oatmeal bathing solution and another type of lotion that doesnt contain certain things that will make the burn worse.. best of luck..
good idea ^j^!! i will do that on my way home from work good idea!!

Calamine lotion is said to work quite well, used for lots of other things as well. This is what came up by googling it. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rl…
