Hey, Jenny !

Unfortunately, there are no fast ways to cure a sunburn. For now, you could put on some aloe lotion and that will help relieve some of the discomfort. Some cold wet towels will help reduce the heat too. Mostly, you need to be patient. Over the next few days, your skin will recover.

Unfortunately, nothing can cure it... you can try all of the things you've mentioned to help reduce the pain, but in the end... it's all about healing. ;) You can't eliminate the damage you've done to your skin, so you kinda have to ride it out! do take an anti-inflammator painkiller... it'll help.

Take a bath in oatmeal! It will moisturize your skin and should stop the burning! Just toss a cup or two of oatmeal in a cool bath and soak for 15-20 minutes. If you don't have a bath to soak in, cook the oatmeal, allow to cool all the way and rub on skin in shower. Leave on for 10 minutes and then rinse.

remedies? I've tried vinegar, cold compresses, tea, aloe lotion, olive oil...I still feel like I'm on fire.
