I've tried the whole milk before it didn't stop the pain at all. I think it depends on the degree of burn what will help the most. If you are in severe pain you need to go to the ER. You can become dehydrated if you have bad sunburn. If you have any blisters at all get to the ER.

Mustard :thumbup: The kind you put on a hot dog. Mix two part water/one part yellow prepared mustard( Ex.1tablespoon mustard /two tablespoons of water). Apply with cotton ball or pad and it will take the burn and the heat out. Can reapply as needed, but once usually does it. Once the pain is gone, take a cool shower. Try it , it really does work. :thumbup:

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

for the burn pickle juice is what I have used in a pinch.
I ALWAYS keep Cetaphil facial soap in the fridge. Put it on like a lotion (don't wash it off) after a shower put some powder over it so it doesn't stick to your cothes! Works AMAZINGLY!

When my red headed son was tiny, the shade shifted and burnt his back above the diaper, so badly that it could not be touched.
I put vitamin E from capsules in cool water and shook it up and sprayed it on his back. That helped a lot, plus sleeping on his tummy for a couple of days.
