Sun Burn - blister help!!!

Well, puttin on 30, sunday afternoon was like putting on 4 that day. the sun was so hot and i didn't realize how bad i was burning.

now, my right ear is like one big blister and my back is starting to blister and i'm in mucho pain. i would like to say it's my own fault...but i did lather up, 3 times, in 30 spf.

so i bought aloe and Lanachane. but what do i do about this ear of mine? it's like a big blister? It's so gross, that's why i need you girls.

Do i just let it heal, does it get like popped (ewwww and owwww)

????????? not sure what to do but it's painful!

Re: Sun Burn - blister help!!!

NO, don't pop them. The blisters are a natural cushion and protective layer over burnt skin. Put aloe and cool cloths on it to relieve the pain. The less clothing you wear over the burns the better.
Only time can really heal
Feel better!

Don't pop/scratch at it! I got burned badly last month and my shoulders blistered. The best thing is tons of aloe (keep it in the fridge so it's nice and cool) it'll takr the heat out of the burn. Just wait it out - and OD on aloe... it'll get better.

Re: Sun Burn - blister help!!!

OMG thank you for your advise. as soon as i get home from work, i am stripping. lol. my bra is a killer right now but i have to wear one.

ok it's all about aloe and cool cloths...hopefully the blisters will just subside on their own

when you get home, fill a spray bottle with vinegar, you can dilute a little if you can't stand the smell, but full force works best. strip, stand in the shower and spray the burned spots, let it dry on you...if the sting isn't totally gone spray again...You'll smell like a salad, but it takes the sting out. ...you can apply it to your ear with a cotton ball, or on a wash clothes. I've had to do this a few times, and it's the only thing that really gives long term relief, aloe will help, but it's temporary.

I was the queen of sunburn when I was younger, hence the recent mohs surgeries I've had to have.

The best cure IMO is to run a lukewarm bath and fill it with teabags. After soaking for at least 15 minutes, pat yourself off and apply natural yogart.

Feel better

Re: Sun Burn - blister help!!!

the vinegar trick REALLY works..I found it on a home remedy site about 2 months ago when I got really badly burned....The smell goes away quite quickly...

Noxzema is another good trick to make the sunburn fade & no peeling...

Re: Sun Burn - blister help!!!

ok girls, last night i put aloe all over my back and then noxema. i am soooo itchy today...which i guess is a good thing, cause i am healing.

i did end up putting preparation H on my ear. omg . i cannot believe i just admited that

but it worked. this morning, i woke up and the blister was practically gone.

thanks again
