Anyone have suggestions on how to treat a horrible sunburn???
Advertisements [?]
So I went to a water park today and decided not to apply sunscreen - I usually tan, and I figured "Hey, the way it's designed I'll be under awnings most of the time." That was a bad decision, because today my body decided to sunburn like a mother****er. So when I got home about an hour ago, I took a quick, freezing cold shower, then I just applied about an inch of aloe over my shoulders and back, because that's where it's burned. I've been walking around topless now since I got home because it hurts to damn bad that I can't wear a shirt (sorry, I'm a guy).

Anyone have any more suggestions? The aloe kind of helped, but I can still feel this tremendous burn. And now that the aloe is starting to dry, my shoulders and back are getting kind of sticky.
