My mom said to put aloe on it (they have aloe with pain stuff in it) and take some Tylenol or something.

Yeah, Tylonal really helps, takes away like the swelling and stuff.

At least you'll have a nice tan when the burn is gone.

Ouch. That hurts.

Remember to moisturize, and try rubbing aloe vera into your skin twice a day to prevent and stop the peeling.

Taking a nice, cool shower will help cool the spots, too.

Oh yes, and remember to wear a daily sunscreen of at least SPF 30!

And right now, as your skin is probably most sensitive, go easy on harsh products like acne products.

Drinking water also does wonders for your skin, soothing and hydrating it. Try drinking a couple bottles a day for your skin. It really helps.

You'll be better before you know it. Just remember to always take care of yourself. ^_^

I know this will sound pretty gross but it works.

Put a cold teabag on it! when your making a cup of tea, leave the teabag to the side and let it cool then put it on your back.

Good Luck

Ow - sounds perfectly painful - make sure you don't do that again.

All I can recommend is putting on plenty of 'Aftersun'. It is special kind of ointment you put on sunburnt skin. It soothes it, makes it hurt less and helps cure it. I haven't got sunburnt yet this year (I guess in the end I 'tanned' a bit, and haven't exposed myself too much).

Next time you go swimming wear plenty of suncream (make sure it works in water), and renew it every hour and a half or so to make sure that doesn't happen again. Remember that water magnifies sun rays, and that plenty of sun exposure in youth can be bad when older. Just take care, and try not to forget in the future - sunburn is quite painful.

That actually is a great idea! Peppermint tea especially works well, as it is naturally soothing and cooling.
