      they make aloe that has anti-itch/numbing stuff in it. That should solve your problem and this can be purchsed at safeway.

        Or do it the easy way and just go buy a bottle.
        +1, its the only way. you should have used Bull Frog sun protection in the first place

              Well, what I do (for tattoo's when they start healing and start itching, along with itchy sunburns) is to use Cocoa Butter liberally. Like every 2 - 3 hours put that shit on and keep it moisturized.

                  Dermoplast.

                  Aloe vera works well at healing, Dermoplast relieves pretty darn well, has benzocaine in it, as well as aloe.

                            How many times do we have to say it? ALOE!!! I know you tried some and it stung, prob wasn't all aloe and the toher chemicals were what stung the burn. Aloe will help the itch and sting and heal some of the damage, maybe even keep you from peeling-depending on the severity of the burn... just use it, the stuff rocks. get a plant, slice a leaf open, and try it.

                              erotic or regular?

                              This one time I covered up everywhere that could get burned with lotion because I was out in the sun for like 10 hours on a small boat. I guess I had forgotten to get the tops of my feet. Man, I got terrible sunburn, and it took a while to heal. I just used hydrocortisone ointment.

                                My face is peeling right now so I feel your pain. Regular 100% Aloe vera works for me... But after living in FL you kind of get used to sunburns after a while I guess?
