Ow, Sunburn

[rose wrought of iron]

That I might possibly have in my house and is not aloe?

I'm already using that, anything else I can use?

[CatherineM]

I use aloe that has lidocaine in it. It cools and cuts the pain. As a kid, my mom used to put Noxzema on our burns.

Lol @ the title.

I just got sunburn today. Used aloe, don't really use anything else.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find it.

I already have little blisters on my shoulders. I mean, ow. They're [color="#FF0000"][b]this[/b] [/color]color. Actually, it's more of a pink, but that's pretty close.

What is Noxema and where would I find it?

Wow, that can't be good. How long were you out in the sun?

About 3 hours. I didn't put on any sunblock (because i thought I was going to be in the shade I was wrong) but was only really in full sun for about 45 minutes. I don't know what I was thinking, but it was wrong.

Noxema comes in a blue jar, and it's a facial cleanser. Older women use it to take off makeup.

Yeah, maybe if someone told me this before I went outside...

If you are blistering, ice bags might help, plus remember to stay hydrated. That helps too.

[rose wrought of iron]

CatherineM, I can honestly say that you're awesome. You have an answer for everything.

I'm making sure I drink a lot of water, hopefully it's not too late for that.

You do understand that I'm getting pelted with tomatoes in that depiction, right?

I'm lamenting the fact that it's only that emoticon that's being pelted with tomatoes.

[eagle_eye222001]

Ah.

I see.

Anyway, I've always kinda wondered about this; when I get sunburned, sometimes I start feeling sick about 6-12 hours later. Is that from the sunburn or from being out in the sun for so long?
