    May I suggest that you see a dermatologist regularly. I'm a redhead who grew up before sunscreen and suffered numerous sunburns. The damage was done and now I need to be checked regularly for skin cancer. Also had an aunt who died from melanoma. Don't want to scare anyone but just be aware.

    Count me in this camp, at 39 I started having small cancers and precancerous moles removed. They make special UV clothing and hats that help. You might also check with a derm as there are different sunscreen ingredients and maybe theres one you are not allergic to.

    My DD has a lot if issues with sun and heart. The ER dr said put milk of magnesia on the burn and drink gatorade (instead of water). Works like a charm. We usually make at least 1 or 2 ytrips to ER a summer cuz she xcant take the heat or sun very well.

    Plain yoghurt might help, my son uses it as he always has some in the fridge. Hope you feel better soon.
