Aspirin can ease pain and inflammation. Tender skin should be protected against the sun until it has healed. In addition, apply:
- calamine lotion
- sunburn cream or spray
- cool tap water compress
- colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno) baths
- dusting powder to reduce chafing
People who are severely sunburned should see a doctor, who may prescribe corticosteroid cream to speed healing.
