I am having to take Tylenol's just to keep the burning pain down and even mild, quick lukewarm showers hurt like a mf.
So I am hoping UH will help me heal this up way faster.
Currently, I do not have aloe vera or anything like that. I hope to get some at the store when I get the chance. I will note how quickly this heals.
If you have ibuprofen or naproxen, use that instead (with food). They are better for bringing down inflammation, while providing pain relief. Tylenol doesn't have that anti-inflammatory property.
We also buy a spray gel specifically formulated for sunburns. Many pharmacies sell it. May just be aloe vera, not sure, but it works well.
