It depends what kind of sunburn it is. If it is regular, it hurts from days to weeks. If you get very bad sunburn (like me) you can wake up with a big bubble from where you got the sunburn. The bubble is filled with water. It hurts if you pop it, but eventually the skin gets black, and it falls off. If it is bad, i suggest aloe.

It itches because of the healing process in which new skin is growing under the dead burned layers. Don't scratch! Moisturizing cream can help.
