How to treat sunburn blisters?

How to treat sunburn blisters?

I can take the sunburn, just not the blisters. They're painful and hurt alot! How can I treat them. Mind you we do not have a bathtub just two showers. My mom said she looked for Aloe and she was unsucessful. I've been using Lanacane spray, but now it just doesn't work.

you definetely need some Aloe (try a pharmacy, wal-mart, convenient store, ext ) gently dabbing ice will help with the pain.

If they are small don't pop them they will usually heal right up, but if they are abnormally large you may have to drain them. Do NOT scrub away loose skin it will only irritate more. Don't bandage unless you have open sores (then use a light gauze or bandage loosely.) hope i helped

I use vitamin E - if you buy it in capsules (like you'd buy other vitamins) than you can prick them with a pin and spread the oil on your sunburn.  I'd suggest this over vitamin e creams since this is much more concentrated and I've heard that creams trap heat in the sunburn and just make it worse.



Aloe is good too - I have a plant that I cut off the tips of and use the gel inside, but aloe gel is good too.



Then there's ice - just helps to ease the pain.



Good luck, I feel your pain

Take cold showers. That will help a lot. I've had sun posining before so I feel your pain.
