Aloe, or cold used tea bags - make a bowl of tea and let sit until cold, then wipe across the burn with a damp bag.

Ive had that happen before.  Aloes is good- but ALWAYS make sure you shower right after tanning- b/c that rehydrates your skin and put lotion on right after the shower.  You can tan- but cover those bad boys up.  Especially because you dont want skin cancer.  the boobs are very sensitive to things like that- so be careful. either put a towel over them or hold them or wear your bra or bathing suit top.

try an all natural sunblock -- here is a recipe if ya wanna try.  I would have thought a baby sunblock woulda had less irritants....good luck

My long term medication says that too, and I too am pale, the medicine made me extra-sensitive to sun and i got a burn in august and I still have the tan from it on the tops of my legs and my chest.\nSo my advice is dont go atall, or if you do only go for a litte bit.

Do NOT ingest sun screen. There are chemicals and other ingredients that are way harmful to the body. The only way to make your skin more sun repellent is to use a higher SPF.

Noxema works great! Feels good on a sunburn, and heals it quickly! ...Don't rub it in, just lather it on and let the skin soak it up.

Peeling skin from a sunburn is the body's natural way of ridding itself of dead or damaged skin.  The skin underneath is going to be a healthier batch that needs the lotion or aloe vera.  If you've started peeling, just gently remove the skin and apply lotion or aloe.  This is probably the healthiest way to allow your skin to heal.

You need a SPF of 45 or more and reapply often. You need to cover up as much as is practical. You need to stay out of direct sunlight between 10-2. If you burn that easily you're a good candidate for various skin cancers, so protect yourself.

in america, we love tanned people, so you can either get the rest of your body tan, or try to lighten those areas.  You can either go surgical or topical.  surgical would be Michael Jackson's way of lightening, and a really good topical cream is the line by Shiseido-its designed for asians in asia, who like to have fair skin, that should help without going surgical.  just stay out of the sun for a while too-i tan great, but fade if i get out of the sun for like a week.

Being in the med field this sounds strange for to me to tell someone else, but try not bathing in soap or any other substances. Just H20 and avoid being too clean, my niece has the same issues, and avoid clothing that rubs? as far as topical treatments i have a natural remidies book that ~I can't locate~ try health food stores, maybe something as simple as garlic? there are many foods that aide the body in homeostasis!

I also suffer from SAD and have been successfully utilizing a tanning salon, in the winter months only, with great results.  I realize UVA/UVB rays can be harmful, but I use sunblock and I only go 2 times a week during Dec./Jan./Feb.; by then, spring is back where I live and I can be outdoors again.

Get it inside out.\n\nDrink lots of water, eat cool fruits and avoid junk and rich spicy foods.\nTake shower atleast two times a day, use talc and when outside in sun, must use a good sunscreen. Also wear sunglasses, carry umbrella in noon. \n\nEnjoy summer to enjoy rain.

Yes... I have dark skin as well... and it is harder to burn but we can... so sunscreen can help... but since you are already burned try putting some aloe on
