Here's a link to a useful site...the grated raw potato is particularly good. I will spare you a lecture:) and hope you feel better soon.

I know flour works on burns, but you have to do it pretty quick. Flour and wet towel leave on until sting goes away. Might help sunburn. Good luck.

flower for sunburns as any other burns best if kept in the refg.

I'm so sorry. Sunburn hurts. Neutrogena cold cream is the best. The main thing is to keep your skin hydrated with something soothing. The dryness is what causes the tight burning feeling. If you have tea bags make a strong pitcher of tea, bring to room temp or chill if you like and soak a cloth in it and keep it wet with tea on your skin or keep spraying your skin with it. I keep a prescription of Silverdene for sunburns. It stops the pain almost instantly and keeps the skin very moist. It will keep for years in the frigde. Next time you are at the Drs. ask for a prescription. Great for kitchen burns too.
If I were you I'd be calling mom or dad or some relative to send money for meds.

COld WHOLE milk. on a washcloth layed on the affected area. no sting afterwards. stops the burn from continuing through further layers of skin. soothes the already damaged skin. only thing i use. look it up if you need to but i swear by this. think about it--eat something too spicy whatdya do? drink some cold refreshing soothing milk.

Use Noxzema for now, that will cool some of the burn.

NEVER use Noxema--it actually doesn't help you only think it does; it doesn't stop the skin from continuing to burn long after you are out of the sun. Whole Milk.

Ice cubes will work. Wrap in a cotton cloth and apply until the burning stops.

yep Noxezma helps.
