Try aloe. That's what we use. Sorry about the burn but I'm sure it was worth it!

You should see my neck Rita. It's a perfectly round, red circle. I am a true red-neck now

i've tried just about everything under the sun for sunburn relief and this is what i've found to ease the pain the most.

As long as you don't add a "dirt/sweat necklace" to your redneck look!

My mom always used to pat vinegar on us. But I honestly don't remember that making me feel a lot better. I remember feeling sticky afterward. But I have read for years that it works somehow.

Tylenol. We keep the sunburn relief stuff with the aloe and lidocaine in the fridge so it goes on cold, but it wears off pretty quick.
I'm sorry you are so burned! I'm pretty cooked for me, and my eyeballs feel like they are on fire! My neck is rather interesting too...

Ya'll are just crazy...about three margaritas and there won't be no problem no more...

It's okay. Sorry you got it too. I still had a blast! I picked up a CAA shirt, hat, and two plates of BBQ that were awesome, on my way out. Loved the purple cabbage slaw with pineapple....mmmmmmm
I will never forget my sunscreen again. Lesson learned :shock:

...oh, aleo...I kept looking over at y'all thinking you got the black bean facing the sun. I sure hope you feel better soon. I'd take some tylenol or advil. I just furthered my farmer's tan on my arms. Had SPF 70 on the face, forgot the arms. 
But, man, it sure was funn!

I kept admiring your hat, thinking "I want her hat."
It's not that bad. I just look real funny.
Today's funn was well worth the sunburn.

aleo -- heard about your burn. Hope u b otay.

Aleo, it was so great to finally meet you in person today!
My mom's sunburn trick, which always works, even though it makes you smell like a salad:
1 cup white vinegar
2 cups water
a lot of ice
soak a washcloth in it, wring it out, and place it on the burn. Repeat whenever the cloth gets warm. I know I read some smarty-pants scientific-y article about why this works, but it was a long time ago...
I hope you feel better! Thanks & kudos to all of you out there working it today at the yard sale!

This is EXACTLY what my mom did.

Mom gets dark brown in about an hour. Therefore my Mom's sunburn trick was that she had none. When I was a child and we went to the beach for at least five weeks a year (spring break in St. Pete, three weeks in the summer at PCB and Daytona, Christmas to New Year's in Miami Beach), we power tanned. Tanning by 10 AM, quick lunch break, back out for tanning until 5 PM, nap until 6, dinner, and repeat the above.

Thanks everyone. My solution last night was to be so tired that I fell a sleep before I could do anything about it. I so enjoyed meeting everyone yesterday. It was well worth the red ring around my neck. I'm going to the store today and get some vinegar, aloe and whatever else I find. Thanks everyone

Yep, lots of Sowal wenches are sporting interesting burns. I am a tank top redneck w/ a pale face (where I always remember the sunscreen)myself.
My solution is that I drink lots of water and then take a bath.
Then I put on this great "after-sun" lotion I got from Skunky/Punzy that smells really good and keeps it from hurting/drying out. Not sticky like aloe gel.

Just before hubby's heart surgery, we came to SoWal for a few days. Daughter (who is the whitest white person you'll ever see) got a horrible sunburn. The cardiologist gave her hydrocodone for the pain.
Aleo, maybe that's what you need.

I failed to wear a hat while fishing on the 331 causeway on Memorial Day. Lots of Aloe for Aleo...and advil helpful too. Might want to invest in a bottle of Benadryl in case it gets worse, turns purple and blisters. (To drink, not pour on the burn.)
